'Aldred of Lindisfarne' (died
968) was
Bishop of Lindisfarne from
947 to
968.
[Powicke ''Handbook of British Chronology'' p. 216]
Much of what is known about the history of the
Lindisfarne Gospels today is thanks to Aldred's additions to the texts, in
Old English (the original texts were in
Latin). His word-for-word translation was inserted between the lines of the original.
