After brief researching the word appeared as 'Lindisfarne" at the following 2 URLs:

Addtionally, a tadbit more information regarding Lindisfarne Gospels: The Lindisfarne Gospels is an illuminated Latin manuscript of the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in the British Library. The manuscript was produced on Lindisfarne in Northumbria in the late 7th century or early 8th century, and is generally regarded as the finest example of the kingdom's unique style of religious art, a style that combined Anglo-Saxon and Celtic themes, what is now called Hiberno-Saxon art, or Insular art.[1] The manuscript is complete (though lacking its original cover), and is astonishingly well-preserved considering its great age.

The Lindisfarne Gospels is one of the world's masterpieces of manuscript painting. It is, says British Library curator Michelle P. Brown, "one of those landmarks of human achievement which transcends the local, and even the national, making it a great international focus of that wonderful period of transition from the world of Greco-Roman antiquity into the Middle Ages."
