Very privileged to have provided some voice acting in Latin, Old English, and English for #RiversofInk, thanks to the brilliant @laurenrndll.bsky.social. Looking forward to its debut today at St. Laurence's, High Pittington. @durhammemsa.bsky.social www.durham.ac.uk/news-events/... #Amiatinus
@laurenrndll.bsky.social , my chapter 9, ‘Three Founders of #Libraries in Late Antiquity’ in ‘Connecting Christianities’, ed by Muthuraj Swamy and Jenny Leith (Brill, 2026),
focuses on Cassiodorus, Theodore and Benedict Biscop and Codex #Amiatinus.
My photo of the Codex #Amiatinus, earliest complete #Latin #Bible, created at Wearmouth/Jarrow monastery, 716 AD, @britishlibrary.bsky.social 2018 exhibition, ‘Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms’.
‘…they finally alighted upon two books as their purest exemplars: the Codex #Amiatinus and the #LindisfarneGospels.’ 2/2
Michelle P. Brown, ‘Bede & the Theory of Everything’ (2023), p. 194.
She argues that #Bede was involved in both these books: Amiatinus, from Jarrow, & Gospels from Lindisfarne.
