The most well-known work of art produced by monks and associated with early Christian Ireland is the Book of Kells, an illuminated manuscript of the four Gospels (the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). However, despite being named after the town of Kells, which is in the Irish county of Meath, it is believed that it was written, possibly entirely or at least partially on the island of Iona, which is a Scottish Island. The monks did bring it to Kells after Viking raids on Iona around the time it was written. The Book of Kells is kept, and on public display, at Trinity College Dublin.
