Description At last.
This is the fifth and last item of my Lindisfarne collection, which I started 3 years ago.
It consists of five pages:
the Chi-Rho page - [link]
St Matthew's incipit - [link]
St Mark's incipit - [link]
St Luke's incipit - [link]
St John's incipit

The original manuscript dates back to roughly 720 A.D., and can be seen at the British Library.
You can see St John's page in colours here: [link]
My reproduction is 1/3 bigger than the original (30X24 cm while mine is 40X30 cm).

This is absolutely incredible. I cannot speakly highly of this enough. Please accept a compliment from someone who is not that accomplished an illuminator, and can see expertise when he finds it: This piece is absolutely amazing. The detail in your knotwork and triskeles, the bold yet thin main letters, with very well done serifs, and your animal heads, which always give me problems, look awesome.

Congratulations, this piece is wonderful.
