Durham Gospels



         


The Durham Gospels is a medieval insular Gospel Book, now kept in the Durham Cathedral Library (MS A.II.17). A single folio of this manuscript is now in the Magdalene College at Cambridge University (Pepysian MS 2981). The book was produced at Lindisfarne and brought to Durham when the monks of Lindisfarne removed to Durham because of Viking attacks.

There is another fragmentary gospel manuscript (MS A.II.10) in the cathedral library which is sometimes refered to as the "Durham Gospels".
