The Beowulf Manuscript. Bookmark this page. We cannot be certain when the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf was composed, how it was created, or exactly when it was written down. What we can do is pay attention to top scholars in the field and make some pretty good guesses. The only surviving manuscript of Beowulf is written in Old English (Anglo-Saxon). Rather than being composed at a specific time, the poem probably developed out of various influences, especially folk tales and traditions.
