Proper noun
Ormulum
(historical, literature) A twelfth-century work of biblical exegesis, whose author is a monk named Orm.
An early example of this transformation is from the Ormulum : ::þatt ure Drihhtin wollde / ben borenn i þiss middellærd ::that our Lord wanted / be born in this middle-earth. Source: Internet
Soon after the Norman Conquest of 1066, the Englisc language ceased being a literary language (see, e.g., Ormulum ) and was replaced by Anglo-Norman as the written language of England. Source: Internet
