I didn't see this was a thing. I feel like I talked about OE with you before Wingsy. I love me some Anglo-Saxon. I'm rusty for sure, but I still have all my sourcebooks and dictionaries. I took three different classes at the University of Vermont for OE (I wish it counted as a language course) including one just on Beowulf in which we translated most of it ourselves and memorized passages. It was great fun. Our professor even took us all out for our final recitation to the most meadhall like setting (so we could partake in libations and food afterwards of course).
I love the riddles, Christ I (for that Tolkien connection), and The Lament of Deor.
Middle English I wish I studied more, but I do have an ME copy of The Canterbury Tales and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
