Article description: (description)This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Book of Kells, also known as the Great Gospel of Columkille and the Liber Columbae, was written on the Scottish island of Iona in the 8th century. Though not written in Ireland, it became a powerful symbol of Irishness. By the 11th century, it was kept in the Abbey of Kells. In 1006, King Sitric Silkbeard sent Olaf Eriksson to the Abbey to convince the librarian Brother Bernard to not allow Brian Boru to use it as a tool to gain the throne of Dublin. |
