The Coming of the English

The Coming of the English

Old English literature

The account (abridged) by Bede of the coming of the English to Britain in the 5th century. He wrote in Latin in the 8th century, and his work was rendered into Old English a century later. The text is copied using an Old English hand, with pop-up glosses in present-day English. Please note that the *unglossed* version of the video is archived here: the glossed version is available at http://www.youtube.com/user/Leofwin2010#p/u/5/p2xBT9xyslo
