Knjiga iz Kellsa

The Book of Kells, (folio 292r), circa 800, showing the lavishly decorated text that opens the Gospel of John.

Folio 32v shows Christ enthroned.

Book of Kells (irsko Leabhar Cheanannais) (Dublin, Trinity College Library, MS A. I. (58), znana tudi kot Book of Columba) je iluminiran rokopis evangelijev v latinščini. Vsebuje štiri evangelije iz Nove zaveze skupaj z raznimi drugimi besedili. Ustvarili so ga zgodnjekrščanski menihi na Irskem okoli leta 800 nš. oziroma nekoliko prej. Besedilo evangelijev je povzeto večinoma iz Vulgate, vsebuje pa tudi nekaj delov iz zgodnejših prevodov Biblije, ki so znani kot Vetus Latina. Je mojstrovina na področju rokopisja in predstavlja vrh "Insularne iluminacije".
