Abstract

The present article reconsiders Michael Lapidge’s influential argument concerning the archetype of Beowulf in the light of recent textual scholarship. It supports his conclusions concerning the antiquity of the first written text of Beowulf, while arguing that his views on the subsequent transmission history of the poem merit revision.
