Codex Amiatinus

The story of how Codex Amiatinus, which some consider to be the finest book in the world, made its way to Italy is a fascinating one. The website of St. Paul’s Church in Jarrow, England, which is on the site of the monastery where Codex Amiatinus was created, includes an interesting description and several images. The Laurentian Library in Italy, home of the codex for the last 230 years, does not have images from the book online.
