The visit to the British Library was a highlight of my trip. <br /><br />But I wasn't familiar with the Cuthbert Gospel, although I see it is similar to the Lindisfarne Gospels. The generous use of white space gives it the appearance of poetry.Suzanne McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033350578895908993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-63069158973007333242011-07-21T07:19:28.265-07:002011-07-21T07:19:28.265-07:00Per Peter's post, "The seller is “the Soc...Per Peter's post, "The seller is “the Society of Jesus (British Province)”, i.e. the Jesuits." I find it a sad state of affairs when a religious order has to sell off relics to make money, even if the efforts are for a good cause.

I don't think so, unless your perspective on history is so deep that 1104 is "very recently"!
