Located in the library at Trinity College, we visited the Book of Kells exhibit. Photography is not allowed here, so I only have pictures from the web to share on this blog site. This 8th Century hand scribed & illuminated early Christian manuscript, was brought to Ireland in 806AD from Scotland to protect it from Viking raids from the sea. While but a few pages of this beautifully detailed book are exhibited for viewing the exhibit also presented large displays of various pages from the book & information about how the monks went about creating them.
