Sinopse
The
Book of Kells
is a masterpiece of western calligraphy, undoubtedly the finest remaining example of an
illuminated manuscript, and one of the most important surviving artifacts from medieval
Europe. Named after the Abbey of Kells, some forty miles north of Dublin, where it was
held for centuries, the
Book of Kells
was produced around the year 800 CE, probably in both Scotland and Ireland. It is a text
of the four Gospels in Latin, employing expert calligraphy and decoration, rare colors,
and other embellishments that make it a true work of art. Paying homage to the incredible
artistry of the
Book of Kells
, this set of three A5 size notebooks are part of a line of exquisitely crafted gift
products celebrating the most important surviving work of Celtic art and Irelands
greatest national treasure. Ruled white pages.
