The Book of Kells, also known as the Book of Columba, is an illuminated manuscript Gospel book in Latin, containing the four Gospels of the New Testament together with various prefatory texts and tables. It was created by Celtic monks ca. 800 or slightly earlier. The text of the Gospels is largely drawn from the Vulgate, although it also includes several passages drawn from the earlier versions of the Bible known as the Vetus Latina.

The Book of Kells is renowned for its lavish decoration. The manuscript’s pages are adorned with intricate artwork, including initial letters that are interwoven with animal and human figures, and full-page depictions of evangelists and other biblical scenes that are rich in symbolism. The artwork is characterized by its intricate detail, vibrant colors, and the use of gold leaf. It is considered one of the most remarkable artifacts of medieval Europe for its outstanding artistry and craftsmanship.

The book takes its name from the Abbey of Kells, which was its home for centuries. Today, it is on display at the Trinity College Library in Dublin, Ireland.
