Hereford Gospels Online Symposium Join a group of experts online to learn more about the life of the Hereford Gospels. A range of papers will be presented covering multiple aspects of the cathedral’s oldest manuscript, including: how it was produced, who may have written it, how it was used in the past, how the cathedral have cared for it throughout the centuries and how modern technology has helped us learn even more about it.
