The Book of Kells is a Treasure kept in Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland.
Overview[]
During the Dark Ages, Irish monks preserved many important writings from falling into obscurity through their painstaking commitment to the aptly named art of illuminating manuscripts. The most famous of these lavishly illustrated texts is the Book of Kells. This breathtakingly beautiful manuscript now rests in the Treasury of Trinity College, where its pages are periodically turned to allow limited display of its intricate designs and brilliant colors.
Despite its long exposure to the public view, the Book of Kells still radiates the Glamour from its inspired, anonymous creators. A persistent rumor among Ireland’s changeling population maintains that the presence of a few fae within the country’s monastic communities gave rise to the glorious dreams that guided the hands of the scribes of the Book of Kells and other comparable manuscripts. The spiritual orientation of Ireland’s cloisters certainly afforded some protection from Banality, while the infusion of Christianity with pagan traditions made it possible for these fae to remain true to the Dreaming. The major argument among the Kithain consists of which kith deserves the credit for this remarkable achievement.
