Illuminated Letters

Curator's introduction Manuscripts from the 8th to the 15th century Before the introduction of printing to Western Europe during the mid-15th century, all books were written by hand. The Latin for hand, 'manus', and for writing, 'scriptum', give us the word manuscript. Making a manuscript was slow and demanding: sometimes routinely laborious, sometimes creatively glorious, and always expensive.

Cette superbe application permet de découvrir TOUTES les pages de cette merveille de l'enluminure qu'est le Book of Kells. Elle est très bien réalisée avec une belle numérisation, un certain nombre de pages que l'on peut largement agrandir, un index permettant de voir toutes les initiales enluminées, etc. Un excellent rapport qualité/prix.

All 680 pages of the Book of Kells can be explored on a new app for the iPad. The Book of Kells for iPad was designed and developed by X Communications, a campus company, in collaboration with Trinity College Library. It allows users to scroll through the 1,200-year-old manuscript page by page.
