[gothic-l] Beowulf and the Geats

[Tore Gannholm]

Beowulf is presumed to have been written down in Anglia in the 8th century.
There were apparently close contacts between that area and Gotland in those
times.
The only existing copy of Beowulf is dated to the 10th century and written
in old Saxan language.
