Yet, it’s understandable: the *Book of Kells* is awe-inspiring and testament to the dedication, craftsmanship and sheer genius of collective creativity at its best. The darkened atmosphere of the 18th century Old Library on Fellows’ Square lends a religious atmosphere of hushed reverence that is entirely fitting, despite the inevitable crowds that surround the beautifully illustrated pages displayed on the ground floor. A fascinating exhibition sets these manuscripts in context, but the pages very much speak for themselves. Created in the 9th century by monks living a secluded life in a monastery on Iona, off the west coast of Scotland, the book and its intricate illustrations has survived Viking raids and the tarnishing touch of time. In many ways it looks almost as good as new. The *Book of Kells* contains Latin versions of the four New Testament gospels that have been richly illustrated and decorated. Full-page illustrations intermingle with text that contains decorative schemes of animals and detailed patterning. There is more to see upstairs in the library, including the triumphant Long Room, whose shelves groan with rare books and manuscripts. But there is only one book most visitors have in their sights: the Book of Kells. ## Plan a trip to see The Book of Kells Price found within the past 48 hours.

(12 reviews) The property is only a couple blocks from the spire/needle and lots of shopping and restaurants. There are a few nagging maintenance issues that need to be addressed, i.e., diverter valves, door handles, window hardware, TV service (no audio for the main platform), etc. More importantly, the property is a half block from a street maintenance lot. Consequently, it is very noisy late night into early morning when these services are in full force. Ergo, leaving windows open leads to constant noise and closing them only slightly mitigates the noise from the near constant activity.
