The binding of the Lindau Gospels was designed in the late 8th century to inspire awe when the
book was carried in processions or displayed on an altar. This sense of majesty extended even
to the back cover the jewelled design of which is reproduced on our Lindau journal cover.
Original Art: Back cover of the Lindau Gospels. Era: Between 750 and 800 A.D.. Region: Near
Salzburg Austria.
