The Book of Kells and Early
Irish Texts: A Theological
Reading
This course will introduce students to a
representative sample of early Irish Christian
texts. It will include texts from the St Patrick
tradition (Confession, Letter to the Soldiers of
Coroticus, Muirchu’s Life of Patrick), the
monastic tradition (Rule of Columbanus, the
voyage of Brendan) and some devotional and
poetic texts. It will set these texts within their
wider theological context and reflect on the
influence of the Irish Church on mainland
Europe in the early Middle Ages. The course will
study the history of the Book of Kells and other
books of the Gospel from this era. The Chi-Rho
page of the Book of Kells will be taken as a
central point from which to discuss the theology
of these manuscripts, as depicted in their
illustrations.
