Here's an article about the Lindisfarne gospels from the BBC: Gospels' truth uncovered.
Researchers have found a possible link between the Lindisfarne gospels and another celebrated early British text, proving they may have been written at the same time in the same region.
The gospels are now thought to have been written at the same time as Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English people, according to the British Library.
The complex and lavishly decorated gospels are widely recognised as the pinnacle of Anglo Saxon cultural achievement.
They were thought to have been written by Eadfrith, the bishop of Lindisfarne, in 698 AD, as a tribute to St Cuthbert.
But the date has now been revised to around the year 720 AD.
It would put the book's completion at the same time the Venerable Bede was compiling his work on the British people.
The rest of the article includes information on the techniques used in creating the Lindisfarne gospels.
