Description
The Book of Kells is one of the great treasures of medieval Europe. Produced around 800 it presents a text of the Gospels employing decoration that is not only extraordinarily rich and colourful but also in places deeply enigmatic. This new book will enrich people interested in manuscripts, design, celtic art, religious imagery and in the world of Irish studies. It will be a revelation even to those familiar with the great Book of Kells. We are guided through full-page depictions of Christ, the Evangelists and their symbols, lavish openings to the Gospels, inventive lettering and combinations of complex interlace, animals and human figures. — ISBN13: 9780500238943
