Michelle P. Brown's The Lindisfarne Gospels, Society, Spirituality and the Scribe, published by the British Library in 2003, is a scholarly study of the manuscript's production, its monastic and political context, and the identity and working practice of the scribe who made it. Brown was a curator and palaeographer at the British Library with direct physical access to the manuscript itself, and the book rests on that combined institutional access and academic peer review. It is a specialist study of this one manuscript's making and meaning, not a general history of Anglo-Saxon Christianity, which other sources cover.
