Book First Edition
Cloth, 4to, 30 cm, 96 pp, plates, ills, (some colour). From the blurb: "The Lindisfarne Gospels, a manuscript produced in the Northumbrian island monastery of Lindisfarne at the end of the seventh century, in honour of Saint Cuthbert, is one of the world's masterpieces of book painting. It is a precious relic of early Christianity in England, and one of the nation's greatest treasures. This is the first book to make the chief glories of the Lindisfarne Gospels accessible to a wide public. All the important illuminated pages are reproduced in colour from a new and accurate set of photographs. In her introductory chapters Janet Backhouse tells the story of Lindisfarne and of Saint Cuthbert, and describes how the manuscript was made. A sequence of the great illuminated pages is then followed by an absorbing account of their relationship to earlier and contemporary works of art. The final chapter traces the history of the manuscript right up to the present day." Contents: 1. Lindisfarne and Saint Cuthbert - 2. The men who made the manuscript - 3. The text of the Gospels - 4. The script - 5. Who the manuscript was made - 6. The great decorated pages - 7. The smaller initials - 8. Some comparisons - 9. The later history of the manuscript. A trifle rubbed, otherwise Very Good in slightly torn dustwrapper.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Sherborne Missal, one of the greatest English medieval manuscripts, contains a wealth of marginal illustrations of wild birds. From over 170 images, over half can be identified to 40 species, and although many are imaginary birds and fantasies, the manuscript offers an unparalleled insight into England's medieval natural history. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
