-	The '''Barberini Gospels''' is an illuminated [[Hiberno-Saxon]] [[manuscript]] [[Gospel Book]] ([[Rome]], [[Vatican City]], [[Biblioteca Apostolica]], Barberini Lat. 570, also known as the '''Wigbald Gospels'''), assumed to be of a late eighth century origin. After coming to light following its move to the [[Vatican Library]] in 1902 this luxury [[Gospel]] book had been largely ignored by the academic community until it became the subject of a doctoral dissertation in 2004. Earlier writing includes some brief comparisons of its [[iconography]] with that of its contemporaries and an inconclusive debate regarding the site of its production. There have also been speculations about a [[colophon (publishing)\|colophon]], an entreaty for the reader to pray for one [[Wigbald]] and its role in providing a connection to a specific historical context. It is not known whether this is the same person as Wigbold, author of the ''Quaestiones in Octateuchum''.	+	The '''Barberini Gospels''' is an illuminated [[Hiberno-Saxon]] [[manuscript]] [[Gospel Book]] ([[Rome]], [[Vatican City]], [[Biblioteca Apostolica]], Barberini Lat. 570, also known as the '''Wigbald Gospels'''), assumed to be of a late eighth century origin.

	+	Key to the treatment of the origin of the ''Barberini Gospels'' is the striking contrast between two very distinct traditions and painting styles. On the one hand are the elaborate and intricately decorated initials one comes to expect in [[insular art\|insular]] manuscripts of this period. The technical expertise of these embellishments is at the same level as those of more well-known manuscripts such as the ''[[Book of Kells]]'' or the ''[[Lichfield Gospels]]''. On the other hand, there are many elements employed in the decoration of this Gospel book which do not seem to belong here, either because they more closely resemble motifs found in non-insular or [[Europe\|Continental]] art or because they are too early, foreshadowing trends of a later, even [[Romanesque art\|Romanesque]] period.
