Has anyone read the latest translation of Beowulf by Seamus Heaney ?  If
so, what is your opinion of the book.  It has been my understanding that
the ORIGINAL script of this work was in an 'old' version of English which
was very close to early German.  Was the original Beowulf written in a
Lowland variety? I haven't seen a copy of the original script.  Has anyone
seen the original writing?
