Hand Stitched Book of Kells

Paperblanks Ultra Journals, The Book of Kells

No need to travel to Ireland to bask in the beauty of one of the country’s national treasures, and history’s most remarkable manuscripts. Paperblanks’ tribute to the Book of Kells features four of its most famous pages on their journal covers.

Painstakingly hand painted by Celtic monks in 800 A.D., the Book of Kells contains the Latin text for the four gospels of the New Testament. The calligraphy and lavish illustrations inspire and awe. Many of its extraordinary colors, radiant still today, are derived from shellfish, beetles’ wings and crushed pearls.

Paperblanks offers four journals that invite contemplation. Make one, or the whole set your own special treasure.
