This calendar has been produced utilising a fine art printing process which renders the images in a much higher resolution more akin to a photographic print. There is information about the Book of Kells on each page.

The book of Kells dates from c.800 A.D. and contains the four Gospels in Latin.

Now measuring 33 x 25.5 cm having been trimmed and rebound in the 19th century. It is written on vellum and the Gospel texts are prefaced with Canon Tables and characterisations of the Evangelists.

What makes the Book of Kells unique are the lavish illustrations intertwined with the text with the intention of glorifying God's creations. THEIR are many full pages containing decorations and symbols such as for the Cannon Tables.

The book was illustrated by what appears to have been four artists whose work has been likened to that of goldsmiths. A number of pigments were used including arsenic sulphate for yellow, red lead or an unidentified organic matter for red and blue was created from indigo or woad.

The Book of Kells was probably used for special ceremonial occasions rather than for daily services. This conclusion has been reached as the transcription of the text was sumptuous but also rather careless with some entire words having been omitted. In other sections texts have been repeated and subsequently painted over to hide the error.

Now bound into four volumes two of which are usually on view in the Old Library at Trinity College Dublin (one showing  a decorated page and the other text), the Book of Kells attracts in excess of 800,000 visitors a year.

In this introduction to the best known film and TV series where the majority of the filming was undertaken in Ireland, we take a look behind the scenes and explore the spectacular locations used by the filmmakers. 

Which Irish road was renamed after a Star Wars character?What John Wayne did during the filming of The Quiet Man?That Ryan’s Daughter was based on Flaubert’s Madame Bovary?That a vampire story was filmed in the library used by Bram Stoker?The Dublin location used for filming The Italian Job, Michael Collins and The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones?

This hand-picked collection of over 1,000 traditional proverbs and sayings of the Irish people, includes contributions from: Samuel Beckett, Brendan Behan, Bono, St. Patrick and many others.

Irish proverbs and sayings represent aspects of Irish culture and history passed down through the oral tradition over centuries. They have been used to help navigate the challenges of life for many. They often originated in rural communities where the unwritten laws of reliance on neighbours and dealing with authority may have made the difference between life and death. Now however, they are appreciated for the wealth of wit and wisdom they contain.

This beautifully produced desk calendar features the work of celebrated Irish photographer Liam Blake. Liam travels the length and breadth of Ireland throughout the year in order to capture unique imagery, in this case Irish pubs, to present as a collection for you to enjoy in your own home or to give as a gift.

Those who don’t know Irish pubs, and the interesting people who frequent them, will always possess only a superficial knowledge of Irish life and culture. The Irish pub is not only an excellent guide to many attractive centres of celebration; it is also a helpful and civilised introduction to higher education in a convivial atmosphere.
