![The poem survives in a single copy in the manuscript known as the Nowell Codex. It has no title in the original manuscript, but has become known by the name of the story's protagonist.[3] In 1731, the manuscript was damaged by a fire that swept through Ashburnham House in London, which was housing Sir Robert Cotton's collection of medieval manuscripts. It survived, but the margins were charred, and some readings were lost.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gkb4qmdqx4ig2ou65wzlxksl/bafkreicfpwpd6nccukpxlejjewlnd2hvizf22q6znitpf3paunagrkqbzu@jpeg)
