  Book of Kells, Illuminations

One of the most beautiful and lavishly decorated illuminated Manuscripts. Believed to have been created by Druid monks in a monastery in the town of Kells, between the seventh and the ninth centuries. The book now resides in Dublin at Trinity College, where it has gradually assumed a new role as an art object.

Lindisfarne Manuscript
Famous for the superb quality and amazingly intricate designs of its decorative pages. The manuscript was executed in the monastery of Lindisfarne, at the end of the 7th century, on Holy Island, off the coast of modern day Northumberland. One of the most beautiful manuscripts, second only to the Book of Kells, as a historical study of Celtic art.
Designs are also found on ancient stone crosses, stone churches and bronze jewelry of that period.
