      Used Good(1 Copy): Good + No Jacket as Issued 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. 95pp. Original pictorial wraps. Pages are clean (no writing, underlining, or highlighting). Binding is tight with no cracks or breaks. Covers are lightly scuffed. Minor shelfwear (slight bumping to head/heel of spine, corners rubbed), a few rear upepr page corners are lightly dogeared). This is not a remainder or ex-library. No previous owner markings. This edition reproduces the most important of the fully decorated pages plus a series of enlargements showing the almost unbelievable minuteness of the detail; spiral and interlaced patterns, human and animal ornament-a combination of high seriousness and humour. Accompanying the illustrations is a new text by Bernard Meehan, the Keeper of Manuscripts at Trinity College, Dublin. He provides an authoritative analysis of these exuberant inventions, the artists, the text and the writing, and a full account of the historical background to the miraculous world of the Book of Kells. Nice reding copy.
