    Durham Gospels

    Library or archive where the manuscript kept
    Durham, Durham Cathedral Library
    Catalogue Number (Shelfmark)
    MS A.II.17
    Century
    VII

    Late 7th century insular Gospel Book, now kept in the Durham Cathedral Library. A single folio of this manuscript is now in Magdalene College, Cambridge (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. The Durham Gospels were written by the same scribe that wrote the Echternach Gospels.

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