(Codex Vitellius, A. xv.). Grímr Jónsson Thorkelin, an

this edition the poem became known in England, Germany and
Denmark, but Sharon Turner gave the first account of it in
1805. In 1833 (2nd edition, 1835) J. M. Kemble issued a
complete edition of the text of Beowulf, and in 1837 translated
the whole of it into English.
