"The Book of Kells tells the story of this magnificent masterpiece. Created on the windy Hebridean island of Iona thirteen centuries ago, it now rests in the Trinity College library in Dublin. The manuscript has mystified, and motivated writers from W.B. Yeats to james Joyce and Umberto Eco, and its intricate Celtic knotwork continues to influence artists and craftsmen today."--back of container.
