The second most expensive Gospel Book ever sold at public auction after the Gospels of Henry the Lion in 1983 went under the hammer today at Christie’s in London. The Carolingian “Gospels of Queen Theutberga” written in c. 825-850 was bought by Les Enluminures Ltd. for just over three million dollars for The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Representing Les Enluminures in the rooms, Dr. Christopher de Hamel, who oversaw the sale of the Gospels of Henry the Lion at Sotheby’s more than three decades ago, has known this Carolingian manuscript since 1975. Dr. de Hamel remarks that the present manuscript is in “unbelievable condition and of noble provenance; it is difficult to imagine finding another ninth-century manuscript in such a flawless state.”

It’s 7:30 on a Saturday night. Bev sits down at her computer to begin a routine that she will repeat several times this week. Within minutes, the first dialog box appears. The young woman’s name is Nancy, and she needs help. At just 18 years old, her body bears the scars of her compulsion to self-harm. She sees no hope for her life.
