	Knitting from Outer Space: Book of Durrow, part 1
		The first possibility is, of course, that the Book of Durrow was created in the general course of copying manuscripts for the monastery.
		The Book of Durrow was copied by a single monk, but it is relatively certain is that Columba was not the scribe who penned the book even though the colonphon claims such.
		The Book of Durrow was then brought to Trinity College Dublin by Henry Jones in 1661 along with the Book of Kells (Henderson, 1987).

	Cumdachs and Polaires
		If the book was a simple one that had been penned by or used by a saint for utilitarian purposes and achieved greatness through association, then the decoration would go on a cumdach created for the holy artifact, and the book would be left in its original condition.
		The typical use of these book satchels was to carry books in as one traveled from place to place, and also as a way to store books when they were not in use; the polaires, with the books inside, would be suspended from pegs in the walls, usually three or four on a peg.

	Book of Durrow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Book of Durrow is one of the oldest Irish manuscripts, written around the year 650 AD at the School of Durrow near the town of Tullamore.
		The book is most noteworthy for being full of "Irish" illumnations, the Celtic style which is typifyied by a sort of extreme stylization of man and animals, and use of elaborate knots and spirals--a heavily geometric style.
		I have seen somewhere that the manuscript is attributed to Saint Columba, who was known to be an expert scribe, which actually got him involved in the first copyright case.

		The Book of Durrow is the earliest surviving example of the great Irish Gospel manuscripts, and the date of its creation is placed around 675AD.

	Durrow, a Celtic Art Painting by Rick MacKay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		This is somewhat of a replica of the carpet page from the Book of Durrow.
		This painting is a spectacle up close- as I overlayed the pigments many times, so there is a catchy thickness to the areas and lines, and a purity to the glow of hte pigments because of the thickness and layering.
		The joy and movement created by the flow of the "liquid" through the spinning circles and interweaving "trumpets", is purely a creation of the Celtic art style, which typifies and nearly owns that genre unto itself since LaTene, by our findings thus far.
