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 beauty of the Book of Kells,
this set of three mini 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.
