Audio Guide 

Located in the Trinity College library, the Book of Kells is one of Dublin's most popular and significant visitor attractions. Dating back to around 800AD, it is considered to be one of the most beautiful religious manuscripts in the world. Written on vellum, it contains a Latin text of the four gospels in script accompanied by whole pages of detailed illustration. The book has been on display since the 19th century and has the dubious honour of having been defaced by Queen Victoria. A decorated page and a page of script can normally be seen on a visit.
