*As the Doctor states, it is a matter of historical record that the Book of Kells was stolen from the Abbey of Kells in 1006. When it was recovered some weeks later, the gold and jewels of the cover were missing, along with several pages. This brief period was the only time that the Book of Kells was outside the monastery until it was placed on display in the Old Library of Trinity College in the [[19th century]], where it remains today. | * As the Doctor states, it is a matter of historical record that the Book of Kells was stolen from the Abbey of Kells in 1006.
