While our knowledge of these texts is based entirely on a 16th-century edition by Flacius Illyricus,[16] both are usually assumed on semantic and grammatical grounds to be of medieval composition.[17] This apparent debt to the Cædmon story agrees with semantic evidence attested to by Green demonstrating the influence of Anglo Saxon biblical poetry and terminology on early continental Germanic literatures.[18]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1367.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1367.txt
