{"product_id":"the-book-of-kells-unlocking-the-enigma","title":"The Book of Kells: Unlocking the Enigma","description":"A new and definitive account of one of the most famous and mysterious manuscripts in the world.\n\nThe Book of Kells is a mystery. It is distinct from all other copies of the gospels from the early Middle Ages, not only in the quality and amount of its decoration but also in the peculiarities of the ordering of its contents, the oddness of its apparatus, the appearance of the script, the interplay of text and ornament and the erratic forms of its Latin. Scholars cannot agree on the number of scribes and artists involved; or establish the purpose of the Book; or decide whether its oddities are the result of incompetence, even carelessness, and how those oddities relate to the minutely careful and deeply meaningful art.\n\nIn this beautifully illustrated, ground-breaking book, Victoria Whitworth examines the famous text and sheds new light on its conception and purpose.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1788541804\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.1788541804.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Whitworth, Victoria\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Has a sturdy binding with some shelf wear.
