The Nowell Codex, which is the manuscript containing the poem Beowulf, is believed to have been made sometime in the 10th or early 11th centuries. As for the poem itself, it is impossible to tell exactly when it was composed. The fact that it draws on both the traditions of pagan Scandinavia and Christianity indicates that it was crafted over generations before being entered into the manuscript we have today.

AnswerAs far as we know, Moses never left a written record, in fact most scholars do not believe that the events associated with Moses even happened. The first five books of the Bible, known to Christians as the Pentateuch, are traditionally said to have been written by Moses, but the internal evidence indicates otherwise, and scholars say that these books were really written many centuries after the time attributed to Moses.
