The Book of Kells is a famous illuminated Gospel in Old Latin, dating back, approximately, to the eighth century. It is deeply Platonic, as well as Christian; and it features a particular kind of imagination about the nature of the cosmos and the relationship between the physical and spiritual planes that may resonate with students of nature today.
