The British Library is the fortunate possessor of the Lindisfarne Gospels, ca. 710. And we are fotunate in being able to examine pages of those Gospels in two ways --
(1) Lindisfarne Gospels, 16 images (4 preliminary pages; 4 carpet pages; 4 Evangelist portraits; 3 Incipit pages and 1 text page) -- in 3 sizes! (through the Library's Digital Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts); and
(2) Turning the pages, a special presentation of 32 pp. of the manuscript. (Alternative: broadband version) (at the Library's Treasures page)
