IMEMS Lindisfarne Gospels Seminar Series 2013
In connection with the major loan exhibition of the Lindisfarne Gospels in Durham (1 July-30 September 2013), the seminar programme for 2013 explores the Lindisfarne Gospels and its world. With topics ranging from Holy Island and the culture of contemporary Northumbria, though different aspects of the Lindisfarne Gospels itself, to the place of the manuscript within broader traditions of book culture and illumination, the series showcases new work and offers fresh perspectives on a Northumbrian masterpiece, its contexts and implications.
The Book of Durrow and the Lindisfarne Gospels
The lecture will focus on the re-thinking the relationship between the Book and Durrow and the Lindisfarne Gospels in light of new archaeological discoveries and new research, particularly on the Lindisfarne Gospels.
