The Lindisfarne Gospels: A thousand stories in a single letter

The Lindisfarne Gospels an 8th-century Latin manuscript of the first our books of the New Testament, is the fascinatingly elaborate work of a single scribe, the bishop of Lindisfarne in Northumbria. The product of years of arduous effort, this illustrative mixture of Celtic and Roman inspiration represents his inspired effort to bridge the rift between the two churches.
