The Book of Kells Official Guide by Bernard Meehan

If you, like so many others, are fascinated by the Book of Kells, Ireland's national treasure, then this is the book for you. The Book of Kells, dating from about 800, is a brilliantly decorated manuscript of the four Gospels.

This completely new official guide reproduces the most important of the fully decorated pages from the Book of Kells, as well as a series of enlargements, allowing you to see the most minute and intricate of detail: the spirals and interlacing of the patterns, human and animal ornament and more, highlighting the combination of high seriousness and humour that typify Ireland's most famous book.

Bernard Meehan, former Keeper of Manuscripts at Trinity College Dublin has written an authoritative analysis of the Book of Kells, its artists, texts and script, as well as a full account of the historical background of the majestic book.

This guide is also available in French, German & Spanish
