Questo studio offre una rivalutazione della circolazione del greco nell'Inghilterra altomedievale, prendendo in considerazione testi diversi come glossari bilingui, preghiere, incantesimi, trattati e poemi. Le opere liturgiche sono tra i testi greci più estesi in circolazione nell'Inghilterra altomedievale, con l'influenza della liturgia bizantina che si estendeva agli incantesimi. Tra i glossari bilingui, Épinal-Erfurt adotta diverse strategie per interpretare parole greche rare e specialistiche, mentre il successivo glossario di classe Anversa-Londra include gruppi di voci trilingui (greco-latino-inglese) appartenenti a diversi campi lessicali, che insieme costituirebbero un lessico elementare del greco. Il poema in antico inglese del X secolo Aldhelm presenta un uso unico di parole greche, presumibilmente tratto sia dalla Settanta che dalle opere di Aldhelm di Malmesbury. Nel complesso, le prove sopravvissute indicano che, mentre la presenza di materiale greco nell'Inghilterra altomedievale si adatta al modello più ampio della circolazione del greco nell'Occidente medievale, diversi tipi di testi in inglese antico dimostrano un riutilizzo del vocabolario greco e l'adozione di diverse strategie per l'interpretazione del lessico greco.
