Manuscrito perdido em Roma revela o mais antigo poema em inglês

Pesquisadores identificaram um manuscrito de 1.200 anos em Roma que contém uma das cópias mais antigas conhecidas do Hino de Caedmon, o primeiro poema escrito em inglês. A descoberta oferece novos conhecimentos sobre como o inglês antigo era valorizado no início da Idade Média.

Acadêmicos do Trinity College Dublin descobriram o manuscrito do início do século IX na Biblioteca Nacional Central de Roma. Datado entre 800 e 830, é a terceira cópia sobrevivente mais antiga do poema de nove linhas que louva a criação do mundo por Deus. Diferente das versões anteriores, onde o texto em inglês antigo aparece apenas nas margens, esta cópia integra o poema diretamente ao texto principal em latim da obra História Eclesiástica do Povo Inglês, de Beda.
