Cædmon's Hymn is known to have been copied in twenty one medieval manuscripts of Bede's Latin Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum or its Old English translation.[6] Nineteen of these texts exist in their original state today. The following Old English text is a normalized reading of manuscript M, the Moore Bede (Cambridge, University Library, MS Kk. 5. In 2019, Martin Foys used the Digital Mappa 2.0 platform to produce an open access scholarly edition of seven manuscript witnesses for the West Saxon text of the poem: Cædmon's Hymn: the West Saxon Versions (The Center for the History of Print and Digital Culture, University of Wisconsin-Madison: 2019): https://uw.digitalmappa.org/12 Three Northumbrian Poems: Cædmon's Hymn, Bede's Death Song and the Leiden Riddle.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7407.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7407.txt
