I believe this is the beginning of the Gospel of Luke from the Lindisfarne Gospels. The Lindisfarne Gospels are the most important surviving treasure from early Northumbria (Northern England). Written between 715 and 720 in honour of St Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, who died in 687, it is a masterpiece of book production and a wonderful historic and artistic document. The manuscript was made in the monastery of Lindisfarne, on Holy Island, off the coast of modern-day Northumberland. The Lindisfarne Gospels in the British Library is one of Britain's greatest artistic masterpieces. It is famous for the superb quality and amazingly intricate design of its decorated pages.
