  Stonyhurst Gospel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
It is he who is thought to have written and illuminated the Lindisfarne Gospels (Cotton, Nero D.iv), as a later colophon declares, in honor of God and St. Cuthbert, likely at the time of Cuthbert's translation.
Measuring only three-and-a-half by five inches, the Stonyhurst Gospel is one of the smaller manuscripts to survive from the Anglo-Saxon period (the Codex Amiatinus, in contrast, requires two men to carry it).
Now in the British Library, it is a copy of the Gospel of John and was written during the abbacy of Ceolfrith at Monkwearmouth and Jarrow (as was the larger codex) and may have been a gift to the brethren at Lindisfarne on the occasion of Cuthbert's elevation.

 Lords Hansard text for 2 Apr 1998 (180402-20)
The Lindisfarne Gospels has been one of the most important treasures in the British Museum for the past 250 years when this manuscript was bequeathed to the nation--the whole nation--by Sir John Cotton, the grandson of Sir Robert Cotton, the great 17th century antiquary and collector of early medieval manuscripts.
It is argued that the gospels is a sacred text and should be kept in a sacred place in the historical and natural context of where it was made; keeping it in the British Library secularises it and tears it away from its roots.
I acknowledge however the importance of the gospels to regional identity, but it would be wrong for it to be politicised and used to strengthen the case for regional government.

That the Gospels were written in the fourth century is a popular error due to a confusion between date of authorship and date of the earliest complete manuscripts.
Those who reject the miraculous element in the Gospels either maintain that the Gospels were written by eye-witnesses who mistook for miracles phenomena which were capable of a natural explanation, or that the Gospels were written many years after the events which they described by men who were not eyewitnesses of those events.
If the Gospels are mainly fictitious, with a small substratum of fact overlaid by legend, it is difficult to explain the success of the Evangelists in creating a character who lives as no character in fiction lives.

Evidence of Anglo-Saxon methods of headbanding is scanty due to the dearth of bindings of this early period, and to the fact that the comparatively light construction of the Coptic-style bindings then in use has resulted in deterioration of these vulnerable points.
However, we have the excellently preserved seventh- or eighth-century Stonyhurst Gospel, the headbands of which may well have been fairly typical.
The methods now employed are similar to those described, one to about five thicknesses of board being used, according to the size of the book and shaped with the aid of a roller and paper.
