The so-called Cædmon manuscript, compiled around 950, is a collection of Old English religious verse.

Although the poems are untitled in the manuscript, modern editors have provided the names Genesis A, Genesis B, Exodus, Daniel, and Christ and Satan.

(Scholars now consider the manuscript’s "Genesis," "Exodus," and "Judith,” once ascribed to Caedmon, to be by various hands.)

It had been established on palaeographical grounds that compilation of the manuscript began around the year 1000.

Recent work has suggested an earlier, narrow window for the likely compilation date to 930-960, based on a coincidence of the style of illustrations.
