Críticas:
'We think we know the Book of Kells, but the plates in this bargain of a book still take your breath away; and its author knows that the unknowns are at least as interesting as the knowns' - Times Literary Supplement 'The value of the new edition of `The Book of Kells' is not merely in the quality of the illustrations but the lucidity of the explanatory texts by Bernard Meehan ... I bask in pride that we did not destroy this masterpiece of European art' - Colm Toibin 'Each reproduction is accompanied by Bernard Meehan's clear and considered exegesis on one of the most complex artefacts of the Christian tradition ... If only all art historians were such illuminating companions' - Marina Vaizey, V&A Magazine 'A sumptuous volume containing more than 80 pages from the manuscript reproduced full-size and in full, ravishing colour ... a triumph of scholarly investigation and interpretation' - Financial Times
Reseña del editor:
The Book of Kells is a masterpiece of medieval art a brilliantly decorated version of the four Gospels with full-page depictions of Christ, the Virgin and the Evangelists as well as a wealth of smaller decorative painting. This new book, by the Keeper of Manuscripts at Trinity College Library, Dublin, represents on a generous scale the glories of the Book of Kells for todays readers, revealing the astounding detail and richness of one of the greatest treasures of medieval art. Its illustrations feature 59 full-size reproductions of complete pages of the manuscript, and, in addition, enlarged details that allow one to relish the intricacy of elements barely visible to the naked eye. We explore the Book of Kells through its historical background; a display of the elements of the book, actual size; the spectacular openings of the texts that precede the Gospels; a study of earlier and comparable manuscripts; detailed examination of symbols and themes, with special enlarged details; a look at the scribes and artists who worked on the manuscript; and a consideration of technical aspects, illuminated by recent scientific research.

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The Book of Kells is one of the great treasures of medieval Europe.Produced around 800, it presents a text of the Gospels employing decoration that is not only extraordinarily rich and colourful but also, in places, deeply enigmatic.This new book will enrich people interested in manuscripts, in design, in Celtic art, in religious imagery, and in the world of Irish studies. It will be a revelation even to those familiar with the great Book of Kells. We are guided through full-page depictions of Christ, the Evangelists and their symbols, lavish openings to the Gospels, inventive lettering, and combinations of complex interlace, animals and human figures.The book elucidates the imagery, with descriptions of how animals, including lion, peacock and snake, functioned symbolically, and explores the relationship between text and decoration, the scribes and artists, and technical aspects including the production of the manuscript, which remains mysterious.The exceptional illustrations feature more than eighty actual-size reproductions of full pages, and enlarged details that allow the reader's eye to dwell on the intricacy of decoration that is barely visible in the manuscript itself. "The Book of Kells" is a masterpiece of medieval art a brilliantly decorated version of the four Gospels with full-page depictions of Christ, the Virgin and the Evangelists as well as a wealth of smaller decorative painting. In this bok, illustrations feature 59 full-size reproductions of complete pages of the manuscript. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
