Linea 3:
'''Cædmon''' (floruit circa annos [[657]]–[[684]]) fuit primus poëta Anglicus [[Regnum Northanhymbrorum|Northanhymbrus]] cuius nomen notum est. [[Beda]] tradit Cædmonem fuisse saecularem fratrum in monasterio [[Streonæshalch]] (Whitby), [[Sancta Hilda|Hilda]] abbatissâ (657–680), qui canendi artem primum nescientem, somnio didiceret, et postea monachus et poëta studiosus piusque fieret.
 
Cædmon est unus ex duodecim poëtis Anglosaxonicis in fontibus {[Medium aevum|Medii aevi]] commemoratus, et unus ex tribus tantum de quibus facta vitae et opera ex libris ipsorum aetatis cognoverimus.<ref>Duodecim poëtae Anglosaxonici nomine noti sunt [[Æduwen]] [[Aldhelm]], [[Alfredus Magnus]], [[Anlaf]], [[Baldulf]], [[BedeBeda]], Cædmon, [[Cnut]], [[Cynewulf]], [[Dunstan]], [[Hereward]] [[Wulfstan]] (vel fortasse Wulfsige), quorum plurimi nunc ficti habentur; vide O'Donnell 2005, Introduction 1.22.<!--The threeTres forquorum whomvita biographicalet informationopera andsupersint documentedsunt texts survive are AlfredAlfredus, BedeBeda, and Cædmon. <!--Cædmon is the only Anglo-Saxon poet known primarily for his ability to compose vernacular verse, and no vernacular verse survives that is known to have been written by either Bede or Alfred. There are a number of verse texts known to have been composed by [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynewulf Cynewulf], but we know nothing of his biography. (No study appears to exist of the "named" Anglo-Saxon poets&#x2014;the list here has been compiled from [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A6dmon%23frank1993 Frank 1993], [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A6dmon%23opland1980 Opland 1980], [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A6dmon%23sisam1953 Sisam 1953] and [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A6dmon%23robinson1990 Robinson 1990].)</ref> His story is related in the ''[[Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum]]'' ("Ecclesiastical History of the English People") by Bede who wrote, "[t]here was in the Monastery of this Abbess a certain brother particularly remarkable for the Grace of God, who was wont to make religious verses, so that whatever was interpreted to him out of [[Biblia|scripture]], he soon after put the same into poetical expressions of much sweetness and humility in [[Lingua Anglo-Saxonica|Old English]], which was his native language. By his verse the minds of many were often excited to despise the world, and to aspire to heaven."
 
Cædmon's only known surviving work is ''Cædmon's Hymn'', the nine-line alliterative vernacular praise poem in honour of God which he supposedly learned to sing in his initial dream. The poem is one of the earliest attested examples of [[Lingua Anglo-Saxonica|Old English]] and is, with the [[Runae|runic]] Ruthwell Cross and Franks Casket inscriptions, one of three candidates for the earliest attested example of Old English poetry. It is also one of the earliest recorded examples of sustained poetry in a Germanic language. In 1898, Cædmon's Cross was erected in his honour in the graveyard of St Mary's Church in Whitby.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Time to move Caedmon’s Cross?|url=http://theheritagetrust.wordpress.com/2012/12/01/time-to-move-caedmons-cross/|accessdate=24 October 2014|publisher=The Heritage Trust}}</ref>
