A Must-Have For Any Collector! Monastery of Iona (United Kingdom) – Ca. A UNESCO World Heritage document and arguably the most famous. Manuscript in the world: intricate interlace and Celtic knots in a masterpiece of insular illumination. Limited to just 199. Bound by a master bookbinder/old medieval manuscript expert with 40 years of expertise in book restoration. 800 – Monastery os St Columba, Iona (Scotland) by unknown Irish Monks. Monastic community of Kells; Archbishop Ussher, crown possession under Charles II. Eusebian canon tables; Jerome’s Vulgate gospels with Argumenta and Breves Causae; additional readings in Old Latin. A4, 210 x 297cm, 8.3″ x 11.7″. The Book of Kells, also known as the Codex Cenannensis or Leabhar Cheanannais, is an illuminated manuscript containing the four Gospels of the New Testament. Crafted in a Columban monastery, it likely began on the Isle of Iona in Scotland in the early 8th century. After a Viking raid, it was moved to Kells, Ireland, where it may have been completed in the early 9th century. The book’s lavishly decorated pages feature intricate Christian iconography, Celtic knots, and vibrant colors, making it a pinnacle of Insular illumination. Manuscript contains the four Gospels of the New Testament. It was likely produced in a monastery on the Isle of Iona in Scotland during the early 8th century. After a Viking raid, the book was relocated to Kells, Ireland, possibly in the 9th century. The manuscript showcases remarkable early-medieval miniatures, including full-page illustrations of Christ, Mary with Child, and the Evangelists. Elaborate typefaces and finely patterned initials adorned with luminous colors demonstrate the masterful technical expertise behind its creation. Notably, the Book of Kells features unconventional materials: orpiment, a rare arsenic sulfide mineral, replaces gold, and lapis lazuli, exclusively found in Afghanistan at the time, contributes to its vibrant blue hues. The manuscript’s charm extends to whimsical depictions, such as a letter “N” formed by two small men tugging each other’s beards and a mouse pursued by a cat after stealing a communion wafer. Please note that “Gold ink” is not used in our facsimiles to reproduce illuminated manuscripts.

A must have for any collector! History: The Kell’s Manuscript is one of the most renowned illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages. Tentatively dated to the year 800 AD, the Book resided at the eponymous Abbey of Kells for many centuries before it was moved, in 1654. The text of the Book is largely taken from the Vulgate, a fourth century Latin translation of the Bible, though it includes several passages derived from the earlier Vetus Latina. It contains the four Gospels. The book was largely sacramental. It would have likely been displayed during Mass, rather than used for close examination. Insular art combined both Celtic and Anglo-Saxon visual elements to create a new hybrid style. Where its contemporary, the Byzantine style, sought to portray realistic three-dimensional forms, the Insular Style saw a flattening of human and animal forms. There was also a new focus on intricate patterning, heavily influenced by elite metalwork of the area. These formal elements can be clearly seen in the dense ornamentation on a majority of the folios in the The Kell’s Manuscript. Our reproduction is of the The Kell’s Manuscript in its entirety. 678 full color pages of this magnificent masterpiece. Reproduction details: This facsimile measures 11.25 inches tall by 9 inches wide and the spine is 4 inches thick. Weight is 9.2 pounds. Our hardcover books are made with 2oz genuine cowhide upholstery leather from a small farm located in the United States. The pages are printed on 67lb cover acid free paper (business card thickness). We use a 4 color digital offset press. Each book is hand sewn by our trained bookbinders using a library binding method. This method will ensure a strong, sturdy, and lasting book for generations to come. We currently have a 4-6 week lead time for all orders. All books will come with a leather of our choice unless otherwise requested. All of our book are hand sewn and made love and care, please realize that we do not import them from China. 100% made in the USA.
