Learn about Irish History and the history of the Bible
Illuminated Manuscript Lettering
Follow our journey as we complete these free downloadable pages for you to finish, copy and learn about the Book of Kells, a 9th century hand written Bible. What we have got so far.....
What follows are simple doodling techniques used by the 9th century monks who spent their lives protecting and preserving the Bible from being lost to history during the Dark Ages before the invention of the printing press. They copied and beautified the Bible one page at a time by hand. This letter M is going to be developed much quicker than the Monks version but it will take time! Stay posted. Do the research on the Book of Kells.
Look out for more directions on how to make the other letters yourself. Enjoy the journey!
