 This manuscript is the oldest surviving Latin (as opposed to Greek or Syriac) illustrated Gospel book, and one of the oldest European books in existence.Although the only surviving illuminations are two full-page miniatures, these are of great significance in art history, as so few comparable images have survived.The Gospels are used in the enthronement of the Archbishops of Canterbury today and are transported to and from Canterbury for this occasion by the Master and college representatives.
