The Otho/Corpus Gospels

The Otho/Corpus Gospels are often compared to the three great Gospel books – Lindisfarne, Durham and Echternach. The Otho/Corpus Gospels was one of the many illuminated manuscript collection being housed at the Ashburnham House. Unfortunately, a serious fire destroyed many of the works, including most of the Otho/Corpus Gospels. However, though the Otho/Corpus Gospel receive very little attention, its original variety of decoration exceeds that of the Echternach Gospel. Currently the Otho/Corpus Gospels are divided between the Cotton collection in the British Library and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge (169-172).
