PowerPoint Exemplar The Book of Kells
The Book of Kells
WHAT IS THE BOOK OF KELLS? The Book of Kells
(Trinity College Dublin MS 58) contains the four Gospels in Latin
The book is written on vellum (prepared calfskin) in a script known as "insular majuscule"
ORIGINS… Probably came from
the scriptorium of Iona, an island off western coast of Scotland, but some claim it came from Northumbria or in Pictland in eastern Scotland
ORIGINS…
St. Colum Cille founded a monastery around 561 on Iona
ORIGINS
This monastery became the principal house of a large monastic confederation
BEEHIVES
Monks’ cells
ORIGINS… In 806: Vikings
raided the monastery
68 members of the community were killed
The monks took refuge in a new monastery at Kells, County Meath, Ireland
ORIGINS… Around the year
800 the Book of Kells was written
Scholars don’t know if the book was produced wholly at Iona or at Kells, or partially at each location
WHAT’S IT ABOUT? The text glorifies
Jesus’ life and message
Images abstract
decoration images of
plants, animals and humans

CHI RHO
Detail from Chi Rho page
DETAIL
At Matthew’s Gospel chapter 46, Judas’ arrival with a mob to arrest Jesus, and subsequently to betray him with a kiss, is prefaced in the letter 'A' of 'Adhuc‘’
Lions represent both figures, Judas on the left aggressively biting the more passive figure of Jesus
DETAIL
This page is the beginning of the Gospel of Luke
DETAIL
HOW MANY ARTISTS? There seem to be
three major artists Four major scribes
HOW DID IT WORK? One scribe
responsible only for text
He would leave the decoration of letters at the beginning of verses to an artist
HOW DID IT WORK? The last scribe
tended to use bright colors - red, purple, yellow - for the text, and to fill blank spaces with the unnecessary repetition of certain passages
THE COLORS Orpiment (yellow
arsenic sulphide) produced a vibrant yellow
Red probably came from red lead
A copper green, reacting with damp, perforated the vellum in places
HOW WAS THE BOOK USED?The number of errors in the text and its fanciness suggest it was used for ceremonial occasions but not for everyday Mass
HISTORY OF THE BOOK It was stolen in
1006 and recovered
It remained at Kells throughout the Middle Ages
Dissolution of the monasteries under King Henry VIII
HISTORY OF THE BOOK Around 1653 the
book was sent to Dublin by the governor of Kells for safekeeping
A few years later it reached Trinity College, Dublin
TODAY It’s been on
display in the Old Library at Trinity College from the mid-19th century
Attracts in excess of 500,000 visitors a year
TODAY Since 1953 it has
been bound in four volumes
Two volumes can normally be seen, one opened to display a major decorated page, and one to show two pages of script
