Description: "As well as the history of Cuthbert himself, this book also focuses on one of the most sumptuously decorated Lives of Cuthbert produced during this critical period (British Library Yates Thompson MS 26), and explains its central importance to the revival of the cult. St. Cuthbert: His Life and Cult in Medieval Durham reproduces in full colour all 46 extant miniatures from this manuscript in the British Library's collection."--BOOK JACKET.
