The book was first written in Ireland and later brought by an Irish monk (St Columba) to Scotland for the early teachings. In Scotland, it is not sure if or how much more was added. The Irish monks were very active at this time, which it includes St Brendan that made a long voyage by stopping after Scotland to the faroe islands (that the Irish called Sheep islands) not only had they been the first people there, they continued to Iceland, which later came the Vikings. The monks went further west and landed in which is now St John's bay in Canada.

When our tour group visited Dublin in the spring of 2004 we got to see the Book of Kells at Trinity College. It is the national treasure of Ireland. If memory serves me correctly it is contained in a darkened room with a soft white light shinning on the book.
The Catach of St.Columba pre-dates the Book of Kells and the lettering you find in that influenced the Book of Kells. Mostly monks from Ireland worked on the Book of Kells, along with some from Scotland and Anglo-Saxons, no matter where the Book of Kells was produced. Book of Durrow too.
A lot of anti-Irish comments here instead of just admitting Ireland and Britain shared Insular Art and that Gaelic and Anglo-Saxon monks contributed to the work. It is British Unionists and anti-Irish types, maybe even a few West Brits, who are obsessed with denying any influence on the Book of Kells by people born in the island of Ireland. This is why I fully support 1916, Irish would not be respected in the union, and are not respected outside of the union.
It was contributed to by Gaels from Ireland and Scotland as well as Anglo-Saxons. People only have a problem with the Irish part as anti-Irish sentiment is rampant and everybody hates the idea of Irish even so much as contributing to a work of art. It is that we are hated viscerally hated
@C. Hardy it was written more than 200 years after Columba. By that point they were mostly Scottish and Northern English who had left in droves after the Synod of Whitby.
@C. Hardy it looks very like the Lindesfarne Gospels which were emphatically Anglo Saxon. Not everything that looks "Celtic" is. As for the Picts, yes they were dominant in Eastern Scotland, but Dal Riada, the Twin Kingdoms of Northumbria, Rheged and Ulster were the main powers in the area, sharing a culture that was not purely Goidelic Celtic but certainly Celtic Christian. Rheged was Brythonic and Both Deira and Bernicia Anglo Saxon. To claim this melting pot culture as "irish" is frankly ridiculous but fairly typical of the "slap a shamrock on it" pan celticism that exists today. The past is not today, and the peoples of northern England, Scotland and Ireland had far more in common than not.
@C. Hardy i know all this. Still doesnt make it irish. Southern Scotland was the anglo saxon kingdom of Bernicia. Which is where the Scots language comes from. Iona was founded by Irish monks sure, but there brand of Christianity was heavily influenced by reconverted anglo saxon, brythonic (the Welsh and Cumbrian bishops survived from Roman times too, in Fact St Patrick was from there and converted the Irish) and latin rites and the Book of Kells just as the Lindesfarne gospels shows this. Its from Scotland. End of.
@C. Hardy Patrick was from the Wirral. Just because Wales is the only Brythonic part of the UK (and Cornwall) now does not mean it was 1500 years ago. The Whole of NW England was Brythonic too at that time. Besides we are not talking about the 6th Century. The Book of Kells was made in the early 9th Century. In Scotland. Not Ireland.
This is heresy and as a Celt (Welsh) I hate to point this out but all the evidence is that the Book of Kells is Anglo Saxon in origin. The art especially the knot work, the animals, the representation of Church's that bear stricking similarity to Germanic Halls.

You mean as an anti-Irish subverter? The art is called "Insular", but was common among the Irish&Britsh Isles as well as being found in some other lands before any examples were found in the Atlantic. Irish monks, Scottish monks and Anglo-Saxon monks all contributed to this. It is only a weird stalkerish hatred of the Irish that has you things swarming the comments denying people of Gaelic heritage in Ireland contributed anything. I know you Welsh hate us and you are a British Unionist
The same artwork is found in North Africa though. It was not purely Gaelic or Germanic. But as an Irishman I am used to everyone including the Jewish attacking us to imply we created nothing. The style in Ireland and Britain was called Insular Art, as neighbours we obviously shared some influences on each other, but if you want to pretend it was one sided then you are 100% biased. Even I am fine saying Anglo-Saxons and others had a part to.play in the Book of Kells, but I am reasonable, the rest of you as can be seen on Twitter hate the Irish to a weird extent and that is what these comments are about.
And yup it is hearsay, and ignoring similar art is found outside of Europe. Only thing you managed to do is get anti-Irish Germans and Brits smirking as they are not intelligent enough to understand Insular Art was common among Gaels and Anglo-Saxons and that it's motifs are not unique to the Celtic or Irish&British Isles. But hey enjoy your Hindu PM.
One more thing: the art you mention also bares a similarity to metalwork often found in Ireland. And both the Irish and Germanic features you mention are similar to parts of Italy and North Africa. So, you are in the wrong and maybe a germanophile, but sure you can look into all of this. The only people who will agree with you are British Unionists and their foreign sympathisers. Nobody ever goes to bat for the Irish of course. I just gave you the facts though and you are wrong, but indeed the motifs are not unique to Ireland or Germanics: yet you ignore Irish metalwork for some strange...suspicious reason. Sure sure.
Shouldn't it be a masterpiece of Scottish art. It was made in Scotland. Actually maybe it's more accurate to say Dál Riata art since Scotland and Ireland didn't exist as we know them today when this book was written..
British citizen? Okay, here is the thing: the location it was produced has not been definitively proven. What we do know is that monks from the lands of Ireland and Britain, both Gael and Anglo-Saxon, worked on the Book of Kells. What is with the weird anti-Irish stuff? Gonna say Irish Gaelic culture produced no art? Oh wait, you might say they were not Irish, so okay, Gaels or people speaking Goidelic dialects, produced nothing? Oh well then.
@@123Jim91 You are frigin crazy. Im Irish and proud of it @rsehole, Im also Scottish and know a little bit about Iona since I went to St Columba of Iona secondary school in Glasgow. For a start no one knows the authors of the book, or where they were from. We only know it was written on Iona and then moved to Kells to avoid Viking raiders. Columba was Irish true but the book was made years after his death, and the monastery was well established by then so Im pretty sure they would have made a few converts from the locals by then.
@@123Jim91 This is such a poor argument. It's not documented who wrote the book of Kells or where they came from. But it's an educated guess considering the time when it was written that the monastery would have been mostly made up of locals. Maybe there may have been some Irish or English there too. For sure there was contact between churches, maybe even as far away as Rome. But know one has any proof of the nationality of the monks who wrote it.

Great explanation about this amazing masterpiece full of mysteries. I liked the video. It is very educational and subscribed to the channel.

I just wanted to listen the song of the book of kells
What's this song playing in the background?
Being Irish and Scottish I won’t enter the fray !
It was contributed to by Gaels from Ireland and Scotland as well as Anglo-Saxons. People only have a problem with the Irish part as anti-Irish sentiment is rampant and everybody hates the idea of Irish even so much as contributing to a work of art. It is that we are hated viscerally hated
What is this song?
The book of Kells was made in both Iona and Kells
We don't know where it was produced
@@michellepeoplelikeyoumurde8373Then why were you liking comments that denied any involvement from Irish monks?
What is it about?
Its beautiful. Scottish though not Irish! I was lucky enough to get to see it without 8 billion tourists shoving each other out of the way
@C. Hardy it was made on Iona. Which is in Scotland
