   Hallo Charles!   
      
    CP> but I'd say likely not directly from Old to Middle English.   
      
   Politics.  I am guessing that the Normans weren't too keen on preserving   
   Anglo-Saxon culture.  The closest I could find to a document containing both   
   old and middle english is the "Peterborough Chronicle".  It is all old english   
   except for the last entry which is in an early form of middle english.  Not   
   quite what we're looking for but I think it helps to explain the lack of   
   translations of old english works to middle english.
