THE BOOK OF KELLS

by Bernard Meehan

Published by Thames and Hudson. 1st. 2012

Fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. The author elucidates the imagery, with thirty more than thirty years of study, 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. Large format. Blue cloth boards, gilt title to spine. Cream ribbon page marker. 250 illustrations, 230 in colour.

Pictorial dustwrapper has very minor creasing to top edge of front panel. A lovely copy contained in publisher's slipcase in better than very good condition with light scuffs and light fraying of cloth at ends.
