The Book of Kells is obviously one of the best-known treasures of the Library, so it’s always nice to see it mentioned by the media.
This gem from 1989 is from the “teenage entertainment show” Jo-Maxi, and discusses how the Book of Kells was reproduced for printed facsimile copies – the images taken then are what formed the basis of the later DVD, app and online versions.
The Librarian of the time being interviewed, Peter Fox, is the author of Trinity College Library Dublin: A History.
Enjoy!
