LINDISFARNE GOSPELS: SPIRITUALITY ART AND IDENTITY

The Lindisfarne Gospels were 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 book explores the latest research and thinking on the Lindisfarne Gospels and is published as the manuscript goes on loan to the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle for an exhibition exploring its meaning in today’s world. Contains an introduction and commentary alongside high-quality illustrations.
