The #ParkerLibrary has a new page on the #AugustineGospels, to celebrate entry into the #UNESCO UK #MemoryOfTheWorld Register. This extraordinary illustrated manuscript was owned by #StAugustine, sent to him by #PopeGregoryTheGreat to help in his mission to convert the Anglo-Saxons of England to Christianity.
