    You learn something new everyday.

    I haven't posted in a while, but I was listening to Guidelines on the radio this morning and Dr. Sala was talking about the Book of Kells. I had never heard about it before, but apparently it is a beautifully illustrated latin manuscript of the 4 gospels that was done between 650 and 800AD. From what I could research, it looks like a copy of the Latin Vulgate.

    Anyone familiar with this?
