	Lindisfarne - OrthodoxWiki
		Lindisfarne, also called Holy Island (variant spelling, Lindesfarne), is a tidal island off the northeast coast of England, which is connected to the mainland of Northumberland by a causeway, and is cut off twice a day by tides.
		Northumberland's patron saint, Cuthbert of Lindisfarne, was a monk and later abbot of the monastery, and his miracles and life are recorded by the Venerable Bede.
		Lindisfarne also has the small Lindisfarne Castle, based on a Tudor fort, which was refurbished in the Arts and Crafts style by Sir Edwin Lutyens and has a garden created by Gertrude Jekyll.

	Æthelwald of Lindisfarne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Æthelwald of Lindisfarne (died 740) also known as Saint Æthelwald was Bishop of Lindisfarne from 721 until 740.

		He is the last Bishop of Lindisfarne to have been martyred following his death.

	BBC - Tyne - Features - Lindisfarne Gospels
		Eadfrith's text closely follows the revised Latin version of the Gospels known as the Vulgate, written in the late 4th century by St Jerome.
		For his text Eadfrith used a type of script known as Insular majuscule, which was developed in British and Irish centres of Celtic Christianity.
		The saints illustrated in the gospels are shown wearing Roman/Greek dress of the late 4th or 5th century, and most probably Eadfrith based them on images in the large collection of books and panel paintings from Italy in the library of the joint monastery of Monkwearmouth and Jarrow.

		The Lindisfarne Gospels : The Eighth Century Onwards The Lindisfarne Gospels, attributed to Eadfrith, bishop of Lindisfarne (698 - 721) are dated to the turn of the century, about 700 AD (Fig 24,25,Plate 2).
		Again, in the Lindisfarne manuscript red dots are used profusely; not as background as in Durrow but as animal patterns between letters.
		However the scroll work style is fairly close to that of the Lindisfarne Gospels and the Tara brooch.These items provide clear indication of the flow of inspiration from metalwork to manuscript and vice versa, showing in this case the derivation of zoomorphic ornament from the Lindisfarne Gospels into the metalworking tradition.
