Famous examples are in the [[Book of Kells]] and Book of Lindisfarne. The "X" was regarded as the crux decussata, a symbol of the cross; this idea is found in the works of Isidore of Seville and other patristic and Early Medieval writers. The [[Book of Kells]] has a second [[Chi-Rho]] abbreviation on folio 124 in the account of the Crucifixion of Christ, and in some manuscripts the Chi-Rho occurs at the beginning of Matthew rather than mid-text at Matthew 1:18. In some other works like the Carolingian Godescalc Evangelistary, "XPS" in sequential letters, representing "Christus" is given a prominent place. <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi_Rho Chi Rho wiki]</ref>
