Description
This accessible and visually inspiring book brings together historical, art historical, archaeological, palaeographical, codicological, spiritual and theological perspectives to explore and celebrate a major world treasure. It is lavishly illustrated with full-page colour illustrations of the major pages of the Lindisfarne Gospels, of other associated treasures and of related places and archaeological sites and is written in a style that is accessible both to the informed general public, students and academic researchers. Placing the Lindisfarne Gospels firmly in its historical context, it incorporates exciting new finds such as the Prittlewell burial and the Staffordshire Hoard. It also includes new perspectives on relations between the British Isles, continental Europe and the Near East during the early Middle Ages in the light of recent research by the author.
