"The Codex Amiatinus and its "Sister" Bibles examines the full Bibles (Bibles containing
every scriptural text that producers deemed canonical) made at the northern English
monastery of Wearmouth-Jarrow under Abbot Ceolfrith (d. 716) and the Venerable Bede
(d. 735), and the religious, cultural, and intellectual circumstances of their production.
The key manuscript witness of this monastery's Bible-making enterprise is the Codex
Amiatinus, a massive illustrated volume sent toward Rome in June 716, as a gift to
St. Peter. Amiatinus is the oldest extant, largely intact Latin full Bible. Its survival
is the critical reason that Ceolfrith's Wearmouth-Jarrow has long been recognized
as a pivotal center in the evolution of the design, structure, and contents of medieval
biblical codices"
