The Book of Kells is an amazing medieval manuscript full of sumptuous calligraphy, intricate images, and other masterful artwork. Its mysterious origins are clouded by much scholarly debate but many believe the book was created at the scriptorium of Iona, Scotland. Oozing with striking colors and gilded edges, the Book of Kells is a treasure which contains 340 folios of Latin Gospels known as the Vulgate and prefaces characterizing the evangelists. It was probably made for ceremonial use on special liturgical occasions rather than daily religious services and went through a turbulent history until it finally arrived in Dublin's Trinity College for safe keeping. Fascinatingly beautiful and historically mysterious, the Book of Kells is a must-see masterpiece that will take your breath away!
