decorated manuscript of the four Gospels. This new official guide
(French language edition), by the former Keeper of Manuscripts at
Trinity College Library, Dublin, provides fascinating insights into
the Book of Kells, revealing the astounding detail and richness of
one of the greatest works of medieval art. The illustrations in the

allow one to marvel at the intricacy of the decoration. The Book of
Kells is explored through its historical background; its structure;
its decorative elements, including the richness of its symbols and
themes; the scribes and artists who worked on the manuscript; and
the tools and pigments used in its creation.
