Historically, a draft of my digital edition of Cædmon's Hymn lived on this site, one directory down (i.e. ./html/). This was a version of the original CD-ROM that I had put on this site to test out at some point just before publication--and then failed to remove. It was a near duplicate of or identical to the HTML portion of the text published to the HTM directory of the CD-ROM published by Boydell and Brewer and the Medieval Academy of America in 2005. I'm not sure if was an exact copy or a pre-proof version.
On April 29, 2026, I replaced that old edition with a copy of the 2018 SEENET web-reprint. The canonical version of that edition is available at https://caedmon.seenet.org/ and the codebase (which allows you to put it on your own server) on Zenodo at https://zenodo.org/records/1226549.
Because none of the pages changed their URLs, all links and references to the draft that was previously here should still work, but they now point to the 2018 update rather than the 2005 draft. The version that was here until today can be accessed still via the Wayback machine if it is important that you access the precise version that was here from 2005 through to 2026. See https://web.archive.org/web/20240522132102/https://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/caedmon/ for the previous version of this directory, and https://web.archive.org/web/20230617070100/https://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/caedmon/html/ for the previous version's index page.
If you would like to continue to the 2018 update of this edition, I recommend that you use the SEENET site to ensure your references are canonical. But you can also access the identical version on this server starting here.
