EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Lindisfarne Gospels, specifically the Christi autem page. Created around 700 AD and housed in the British Museum, this masterpiece of medieval literature is a testament to the artistic and religious heritage of Britain. The decorative text on St Matthew, Chapter 1, Verse 18 reads "Christi Autem" marking the opening of the Christmas Gospel. The Lindisfarne Gospels are renowned for their intricate design and vibrant colors that bring biblical stories to life. This particular page exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail found throughout this sacred manuscript. Originally published in 1935 as part of R. H. Hodgkin's book "A History of the Anglo-Saxons" this print preserves a piece of history from both centuries past and more recent times. It serves as a reminder of our connection to ancient traditions and faiths that continue to shape our world today. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back through time - witnessing not only an extraordinary work of art but also glimpsing into a bygone era filled with devotion and reverence. The Lindisfarne Gospels stand as a testament to human creativity, spirituality, and cultural heritage that transcends generations.
