Hard as it may be to believe the Book of Kells was meant to be read and used!
This page is a table of "Canon" Books Books that are officialy part of the set of Christians Scriptures known as the Bible today. The use of ornament within a strong framework doesnt emphasize the list of texts!
It's hard to show you a full size version in a blog. If you have only ever seen closeups of detail find out if your library has a reproduction and if you ever get to go to Dublin do go and see the original!
