| "There were colorful birds, and mythological-looking beasts with bulging eyes, and probably miles of Celtic knots, all carefully drawn by Irish monks who spent their entire lives decorating their manuscripts. Just like Liffey was spending her entire life designing her solo dress! " |

BOOK OF KELLS FACTS: 680 pages long. Every single page but 2 are decorated! Stolen from monks in 1006 AD because thieves wanted the real gold-bejeweled cover. Found a few months later in a bog! But guess what? No cover!! The monks used animal skins and handmade inks to write and decorate these New Testament Gospels which make up -- The Book of Kells! You can see it at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. Oh--it is written in Latin! |
