The only surviving manuscript of Beowulf was damaged in the Cotton library fire in 1731, and some parts of it are now unreadable or have actually crumbled away. Fortunately, before the fire there were two transcripts made. The first was made by a copyist who did not understand Old English at all and wasn't familiar with the Insular script: he made lots of stupid errors, but he also tended to preserve unusual words and spellings from the original. The second was made by someone familiar with Old English: he didn't make too many stupid, obvious mistakes, but he also tended unconsciously to replace rare words or spellings with more common ones. The same problem exists in any field -- when people know what to expect, they tend to find what they're expecting.
