Current data for Description

Description taken from display in the Undercroft at York Minster: "The York Gospels was probably made by Anglo-Saxon monks at Canterbury around 1020 and brought to York by Archbishop Wulfstan. It is the only book from before the Norman Conquest to survive at the Minster. For centuries people have sworn their oath of allegiance on the book. They still do today." The Gospels may have been presented to Wulfstan by the Danish King of England, Cnut, and his wife Emma. For more information visit the York Minster Collections Website
