Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Ampleforth Journal, Vol. 27 "If France has been made by bishops, it is still more true I that Christian England has been made by monks. The monks and the monks alone have introduced, sowed, and cultivated Christian civilization in this island. . . From whence came these monks? From two very distinct sources - from Rome and Ireland. British Christianity was produced by the rivalry, and some times by the conflict, of the monastic missionaries of the Roman and Celtic Church." (Montalembert - Monks of the West: Book viii, ch. I). "The Christianity of nearly half the world flows, or will flow, from the fountain which burst forth on British soil." (Ibid.) The story of Holy Island and of the Celtic saints in England is perhaps familiar to all; but it illustrates so remarkably these words of Montalembert that we may be pardoned for telling once more the part of Holy Island and its saints in early English church history. Those who feel the spell of the Celtic saints will not find it wearisome to recall their part in the foundation of the Church in England. But there is more than this. We offer the reader something quite new and original: a reconstruction of the Priory of Lindisfarne, based upon local excavation and upon research among literary sources both published and unpublished. And we hope to publish further designs in the next Journal. The designer, who is also the excavator and the researcher, will then himself explain his results. Meanwhile we presume to supply the reader with that most necessary possession: historical background. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
