Below, you can see a digitalized image of the first page of Beowulf. Beowulf survives in only one medieval manuscript: Cotton Vitellius A.xv (known more commonly as the "Nowell Codex") in the British Museum. Be sure to expand your web-browser to its largest size so you won't cut off any of the text. You can then scroll down to anexercise at the bottom of this page.
