LINDISFARNE GOSPELS: SPIRITUALITY ART AND IDENTITY

The Lindisfarne Gospels is an extraordinary book and one of the British Library's greatest treasures, hand-written and decorated over 1,300 years ago by a single supremely gifted scribe-artist. It inspires awe, both as a pinnacle of book design and for the fascinating story of how it survived the centuries in almost pristine condition. This is an exploration of the latest research and thinking on the Lindisfarne Gospels and contains an introduction and commentary alongside high-quality illustrations.
