An Irish manuscript of the Four Gospels, which was commissioned or written by Máel Brigte mac Tornáin (d. 927), abbot of Armagh, for whom the gospelbook is named. A later inscription provides evidence that it had found its way into England by the early 10th century and that Æthelstan, king of England (r. 924-939), apparently its owner, donated it to Christ Church, Canterbury.
