<div class="JBMCode"> Old English was not written very often before the year 700. Writing is largely a modern phenomenon, and most people in Britain in the year 700 did not write anything. However, when Old English was written, it was initially with runes, and later with a version of the Latin alphabet introduced by Irish missionaries. </div> <br />
