		Efengylau Teilo ('The Gospels of St Teilo', otherwise known as "The Lichfield Gospels' or 'The Gospels of St Chad') is one of the most beautiful of the illuminated Gospel-books produced in Britain during the eighth century.
		Brechfa is spelt 'Bracma' in the Gospels of St Teilo - an indication of the primitive nature of the Welsh used in the marginal notes, as was realized by the great eighteenth century philologist Edward Lhuyd.
		A 1324 Latin charter of the lands of Talley Abbey proves that the reference in the Gospels of St Teilo is to the present-day Brechfa.

		It quotes Jerome's own opening in its defence of the canonical gospels against rivals by stressing the importance of the number four and by showing that the canonical gospels are prophesied in scripture, most notably in the four rivers of Paradise and the four carrying rings of the Ark of the Covenant.
		The standard gospel quaternities are therefore used in Clm 6233 as starting-points for a series of sophisticated theological and mystical expositions on the divine descent testified in the gospels.
		This cosmic symbolism of the fourfold harmony of the gospels is echoed by the elaboration of traditional scriptural images of the four dimensions of Noah's Ark and the four carrying rings of the Ark of the Covenant as figures of the four gospels' united testimony in defending and supporting the Church against heresy.

		Part of the reason for that is that the numbering system of sections and capitula, which are the forerunners of chapter and verse sections, do not fully agree with those that you find in the canon tables at the front.
		Meanwhile, against the background of all of this, the mile-long queue that perpetually snakes around the quad at Trinity was there waiting to pass by the dimly lit mystical object itself, for reason of devotion, of cultural tourism, nationalism, or with whatever motivation.

		None has addressed the question of why the Insular scribes employed such geometric methods, which are in some places extremely complex, nor have they looked at the meanings and messages implied by the use of geometry and the numbers associated with this art.
		As these manuscripts are all gospels books and were produced in monastic environments, it seems reasonable to assume that such constructions were underpinned by theological considerations.
