See the manuscript of the Book of Kells, Dublin

Posted 1 year ago by adonis in response to avatar jason's question: What institution in Dublin has the honor of housing the Book of Kells? i'm eager to see it (give a different answer) .

The Trinity College, more precisely the Old Library of the school, in the Colonnades area. I'm an antiques lover myself and I had the luck to admire its beautiful metal carvings and patterns that decorate each of the 680 pages last year. I guess I'm not saying anything new, but the manuscript dates back to Celtic Christianity and it was written by scribes and monks from the monastery of Kells.
