Do any of you happen to know of one, or have one? If you do, the publisher, edition etc would be of extreme value...my greatest desire at the moment is to read it in all its untranslated glory! Thanks, Bexter (apologies for the weird formal letter style of that...it must have been the greatness of Beowulf wandering across my keyboard) ----The next sentence is true.
