| | We like to think of this document as the ultimate timeline of British history from its beginnings up to the end of the reign of King Stephen in 1154. | | | The original language was Anglo-Saxon (Old English), but later entries were probably made in an early form of Middle English. |

| | Anglo-Saxon Israel: Who or What is a Jew? |
| | It is very important that our language be precise so as not to confuse Judahites who practiced the Mosaic Law with Jews who practiced "the leaven of the Pharisees." (Luke, 12:1.) The remnant who returned from Babylon were Judahites, not Jews. | | | The Jews reject the Messiah in spite of the fact that Jesus fulfilled over 300 prophecies of the Messiah’s coming and mission. | | | From all of the above history, it is therefore axiomatic that the term ‘Jew’ should never be applied to any Israelites or Judahites prior to 150 B.C. and then only to those who specifically practiced the doctrine of the scribes and Pharisees. |

| | The 11th century, with its political convulsions, resulting in the establishment of an alien rule and the partial suppression of the language of the conquered race, was unfavourable to literary efforts of any kind in the vernacular. | | | The first essays in Biblical translation, or rather paraphrasing, assumed in English, as in many other languages, a poetical form. | | | Genesis is but slightly abridged, but Job, Kings, Judges, Esther and Judith as well as the Maccabees are mere homilies epitomized from the corresponding Old Testament books. |

| | Still other areas of scholarly and critical attention seek to regularize a written form of Modern Scots (Stirling 89), and to catalogue the influence of Scots on dialects of English spoken around the world (Jones 78). | | | From this point on, Standard English became the goal towards which most self-possessed Scottish people aimed, and by the nineteenth century, Scots was understood to be a “second-class” language, traces of which were eagerly erased from the speech of such Scottish luminaries as Adam Smith and David Hume (Herman 116). | | | Today, Scots is the flashpoint for a number of political, social, and cultural concerns, as questions surrounding the autonomy of a modern Scottish identity run up against the historical legacy of cultural hegemony in England. |

| | In recent times, some historians have taken issue with the notion of a "Saxon conquest", claiming that there is a marked lack of archaeological evidence for a major invasion. | | | The various tribes established a large number of kingdoms in what today is known as England, which were popularly described to have later consolidated into seven states known as the Heptarchy. | | | We need not doubt that the Angli and the Saxons were different nations originally; but from the evidence it seems likely that they had practically coalesced in very early times, perhaps even before the invasion. |

| | The scholar’s main contributions in terms of creating a philosophy of language include his resurrection of scholarly works that had been forgotten, his training of “most of the high-ranking continental churchmen” of the generation after him, and his insistence on a “new standard of accuracy and clarity in the scriptorium” (Garrison, 24). | | | Aelfric is associated with a monastery in Winchester that is believed to have been the spot that the first standardized written English emerged. | | | Among the literate there eventually emerged an academic elite who produced written works in English, examined OE grammar through their study of Latin, and even made attempts at creating a standardized version of OE. |
