      The most beautiful book in the world
      No Expiration
      Stockholm Adventurer's Guild
      One of the Scholars is looking into Celtic branches of Christianity. Might have been coincidence, but this seems perfect for you after your research on Saint Columba. What do ou think? Start off in London.

                      On Saint Columba
                      Born of a royal Irish line, he chose a path of faith. After his monastic training, he went on to establish other monasteries, including ones at Kell and Derry. He was later exiled from Ireland and constructed a monastery on Iona, using that as a base to preach in Scotland.

                      The spread of Proseletyzing
                      This is mostly all we have on Saint Columba himself. He established many monasteries and had large numbers of disciplines. His teaching to the Celts extended not to those in Ireland and Scotland, but also through much of Western Europe. Come to think of it, wasn't there one in Dublin that was quite familiar with him?

                      The Monastery on Iona
                      They say that Iona, where Saint COlumba lived after being exiled from Ireland, was attacked many times by the Vikings. Each time, the monastery was destroyed and had to be reuilt. Vikings... It's quite possible they were after that book.

                      A copy
                      You see, the monastery at Iona had created a copy of the BIble. It held the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. It used calfskin for its cover and was decorated in Celtic letters and patterns. There has never been another book like it.

                      The Copy Crosses the Sea
                      Because of the Vking attacks, the book was moved from Iona to Ireland. And I heard that it was completed at the monastery at Kells. Some say the book was created in praise of Saint Columba. I here that it is under careful guard here in this town at the Church.

                      Decorated Copy
                      The beautiful copy of the Bible made at the monastery built by Saint Columba can be found here in this town. I think we should see this book that the Vkings were so determined to lay their hands in.

                          A hand written copy of the Bible created
                          in the 8th century. With beautiful
                          calligraphy done in the Celtic Insular
                          Art style, it appears more a work of art
                          than a book.
                          It contains the four gospels of Matthew,
                          Mark, Luke, and John.
