Le Livre de Kells. Celte as he did for MallarméThis comprehensive study of the Book of Kells reproduces, in actual size, 80 of the most beautiful folios of this manuscript preserved in Dublin since the 17th century. A masterpiece of medieval illumination, it is a version of the four Gospels and a tribute to the genius of the Irish monks with their representations of Christ, the Virgin and the Evangelists, interspersed with animal figures.
