The Book of Kells: Unlocking the Enigma by Victoria Whitworth

The Book of Kells is a mystery. It is distinct from all other copies of the gospels from the early Middle Ages, not only in the quality and amount of its decoration but also in the peculiarities of the ordering of its contents, the appearance of the script, and the interplay of text and ornament.

In this beautifully illustrated book, Victoria Whitworth examines the famous text and shares her views on its conception and purpose.
