Lapidge, Michael, “The earliest Anglo-Latin poet: Lutting of Lindisfarne”, Anglo-Saxon England 42 (2013): 1–26.  
abstract:
In a ninth-century manuscript now in St Gallen (Stiftsbibliothek, 254) are found three Latin poems in three different metres dedicated by a poet who names himself as Lutting, in memory of his master Bede who, according to the first of the poems, died in AD 681 (and cannot, therefore, have been the much better known Bede of Monkwearmouth–Jarrow). In the St Gallen manuscript the poems are transmitted alongside Cuthbert's Epistola de obitu Bedae; judging from the language of Bede's ‘Death Song’ which it contains, the Epistola was copied from a Northumbrian exemplar, and the same is apparently true of the three Latin poems. The fact that the names of Lutting and his master Bede are found near to each other in the Durham Liber Vitae raises the possibility that they were together at Lindisfarne; and detailed metrical analysis indicates that two of the poems follow Hiberno-Latin metrical practice in significant ways, which also points to the Irish cultural milieu of Lindisfarne. In an Appendix, the poems are edited for the first time, with translation and commentary.

abstract:

This paper addresses difficult and much-disputed questions concerning the provenance, dating, and inter-relationships of the great Insular gospels—Lindisfarne, Durham, Echternach, Durrow, Kells and others. It rejects Brown’s hypothesis about the Lindisfarne scriptorium, viz. that the Lindisfarne, Durham and Echternach Gospels were written there, the latter two by the scribe-artist called the ‘Durham-Echternach calligrapher’. The similarities of Echternach and Durham are best explained by their common roots in Ireland, and the development of Insular majuscule took place in Ireland, not Northumbria. The critical importance of Rath Melsigi, its daughter house Echternach, and the Echternach group of manuscripts is duly stressed.
