Verlag: Luzern, Faksimile, [ca. Gebraucht - Softcover. Thought to be made by the monastic community established by Colmcille St. Columba on the isle of Iona in modern-day Scotland , this Latin gospel book is a stunning manuscript in which text has transcended being words on a page to become the iconic art of a nation. In the Book of Kells , it is difficult to separate the pictures from the text.
Between the canon tables, the figural images and the calligraphic initials to the Gospels, there are two dozen pages of iconic art. Jesus stands with his hands cast out pointing to the crosses in the border of the page, anticipating his crucifixion. He is flanked by two men who hold his wrists as they take him into custody. The vines of the garden of Gethsemane curl asymmetrically from the crowns of their heads.
Acting as a keystone to the framing arch, monstrous heads , their tongues intertwined, echo the confronted gazes of the men arresting Christ. The figures are flattened and stylized as if made in metalwork, yet the pathos and tension of the scene remain stark and vibrant. The intricacy and detail of the craftsmanship filling the pages is a testament to the dedication with which the book was made. When the monastic community on Iona fled to Ireland and settled at Kells with their precious gospel book, they did so to escape the devastation brought by Viking raiders , who had been a constant threat through the eighth century.
Unfortunately, the Vikings came to Kells and the book was stolen , likely for its gold and jeweled covers. The pages of the book were recovered, having been buried by its thieves. After the dissolution of the monastery, it eventually passed to Archbishop Ussher who, in , sold the book to the English army. Yellow and red ochre, indigo, green copper, and even lapis lazuli make up the wonderful color palette.
