林迪斯法恩四福音書

林迪斯法恩四福音書（）是一本著於700年左右的泥金寫本四福音書，寫作地約是林迪斯法恩，作者也很可能是來自林迪斯法恩的。它現藏於倫敦大英圖書館。林迪斯法恩福音書是現存保存最完好的（Insular art）代表作之一，包含了地中海、盎格魯薩克遜和凱爾特風格。

林迪斯法恩的埃德弗斯在698年成為林迪斯法恩主教，721年去世。現在的學者認為這本福音書的著作時間可能是在715年，目的是紀念聖卡斯伯特。但另一種說法認為其著作於698年，以紀念當年卡斯伯特遺體的搬遷。林迪斯法恩福音書在8世紀有著華麗的珠寶裝飾，維京人入侵時珠寶丟失，1852年才重新加上。其行文使用（insular script）。

10世紀時林迪斯法恩福音書的古英語譯本譯成，抄寫員奧爾德雷德（Aldred the Scribe）將逐字的翻譯夾在了原先抄寫的的拉丁文之間，并在抄本最後（f.259r）加上了版權頁。這是現存最古老的英語福音書譯本。
