One of the masterpiece art treasures of Ireland, the Book of Kells is a massive illuminated manuscript of the four gospels, dating back to the early 9th Century.
The book resides in the library of Trinity College in Dublin (where I once had the opportunity to see it; it’s in a display case with a changing page open for view). But newly rescanned pages are now also available online through the college’s website.
Very cool.
