Gospels of St Chad

 Once travelling in the English Midlands I stopped at Lichfield and looked around its cathedral. It is a magnificent building in itself but apart from that I saw a manuscript of the Gospels of St Chad, of very early middle ages. It seems to be almost twice as old as the Cathedral itself, which is Gothic. It is written in Insular script, like the Book of Kells and Lindisfarne Gospels.

There is a book available, based on this blog.  

On the blog there is, so to speak, more room, one can show more illustrations there. Blogs, however, come and go, there is no certainty that it will be there ten years from now. The book, on the other hand, once you acquire it, will last, one can be sure of that.
