The Book of Kells is the world’s most famous medieval manuscript–it is a beautifully decorated, intricate copy of the four Gospels dating back to the 9th century. I was lucky enough to see a few pages of the Book of Kells under security glass at Library of Trinity College in Dublin, but now the book is online for everyone to see. You can even zoom in to see the detail on the pages. The link is in the article below. Enjoy!
Pretty cool Amy. Thanks for sharing. I booked marked the site so I can peruse it at my leisure.

Thanks, Carol. Glad you were able to leave a comment! The Book of Kells is just a gorgeous piece of art. I’m using it as a reward to myself–if I get my word count in for my historical today, I’ll browse the Book of Kells as a treat!

This is a neat site… Will need to take some time to look at it on my laptop, vs the iPad… It’s too small for my old eyes… 🙂

I think a bigger screen would be better, if only to see the amazing details up close. Hope you enjoy perusing it!
