A thousand-year-old manuscript wrongly attributed to Cædmon
The Junius manuscript is a codex produced around the year 1000. It was attributed to the poet Cædmon in 1655 by the linguist François du Jon, because of the religious themes it contains. This attribution was subsequently invalidated due to stylistic differences between the texts, leaving only one authentic poem by Cædmon.
