Un manuscrito perdido en Roma revela el poema en inglés más antiguo

Investigadores han identificado en Roma un manuscrito de hace 1.200 años que contiene una de las copias más antiguas conocidas del Himno de Caedmon, el primer poema escrito en inglés. El hallazgo aporta nuevos datos sobre cómo se valoraba el inglés antiguo a principios de la Edad Media.

Académicos del Trinity College de Dublín descubrieron el manuscrito de principios del siglo IX en la Biblioteca Nacional Central de Roma. Datado entre los años 800 y 830, es la tercera copia superviviente más antigua del poema de nueve versos que alaba la creación del mundo por parte de Dios. A diferencia de versiones anteriores, en las que el texto en inglés antiguo aparece solo en los márgenes, esta copia integra el poema directamente en el texto principal en latín de la Historia eclesiástica del pueblo inglés de Beda.
