Quite early on, as the second full-page plate, it reproduces what it calls a 'Manuscript from the Book of Kells, Ireland, c. 800' from 'A Private Collection'. This is puzzling, since you don't have to be particularly learned about illuminated manuscripts to know that The Book of Kells is one of the treasures of Trinity College Library, Dublin, and certainly doesn't belong to any private individual. This wouldn't really matter if the reproduction was indeed from the Book of Kells, but it isn't. It has a superficial resemblance to one of the illuminations in the Book of Kells - Christ Enthroned, Folio 32v - but there are many differences of colour, detail and general quality, and it is captioned as being a portrait of St. Matthew. There IS a portrait of St Matthew in the Book of Kells (Folio 28v) but it is completely different from this illustration, which - in the absence of any other evidence - I can only presume to be a modern pastiche.This is all very strange, since the Book of Kells is hardly an obscure work, and if the author - or more likely the publishers and/or the picture editor - is mistaken on this point, it is difficult to trust them on other matters, though I hasten to add that to the best of my (very partial) knowledge the other attributions in the book are correct.I wouldn't want to put people off altogether, which is why I've still allowed it three stars. It will certainly give pleasure and inform, but it would be best to refer to other volumes (such as the books by Janet Backhouse and Christopher de Hamel, or Bernard Meehan's introduction to the Book of Kells itself) for complete accuracy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful illustrations *by S***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 4 August 2021* A compact knee book of 127 pages. Every page displays richly embellished images showing plates from a variety of sources indexed on the last few pages. The book covers a variety of subjects in the Christian and Divine Dedication domains. Copies of the richly illuminated medieval pages printed on semi glossy heavyweight paper. A lovely book for relishing and digesting the delightful colourful designs. ## Frequently Bought Together - Illuminated Manuscripts Masterpieces of Art - Beginning Illumination: Learning the Ancient Art, Step by Step - Understanding Illuminated Manuscripts: A Guide to Technical Terms, Revised Edition (Looking At) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/62204098-illuminated-manuscripts-masterpieces-of-art](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/62204098-illuminated-manuscripts-masterpieces-of-art) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
