The Book of Kells 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.

The Monk was at the Abbey under the identity of Brother Thelonius. He was taking advantage of the artistic skills of the monks to draw a new directional circuit for his TARDIS, using a page of the Book of Kells and liquid Gallifrite. (AUDIO: The Book of Kells)
