Lots of people asking about The Book of Kells so we put together an episode discussing this Ireland's national treasure. We talk scribes, patronage, emojis, tattoos, art, vikings, Iona, Portmahomack, gospel books, & the importance of scholarly access to historical manuscripts.

Slides nearly ready! Looking forward to speaking to Insulae this afternoon about some of my work for the IrishResearchCouncil #LEIGHEAS project Early Irish Maynooth. Special thanks to Elaine Pereira Farrell, PhD for the invitation and organisation!

The Book of Kells was in the news again this week so we couldn't resist quickly putting together an episode on this greatest symbol of Medieval Ireland. Splendid chat w/expert Dr Donncha MacGabhann on what makes this book so special & how it was created. open.spotify.com/episode/0HI6Y4…

Greatly looking forward to this Brigidine event in September in Maynooth University, organised by the fabulous Niamh Wycherley, PhD, in collaboration with Early Irish Maynooth and Kildare County Council and Brigid 1500.
