The Book of Kells, sometimes known as the Book of Columba, is an illuminated religious manuscript and Celtic Gospel book in Latin, containing the four Gospels of the New Testament together with various prefatory texts and tables.

It was created in a Columban monastery in either Ireland or Scotland, and may have had contributions from various Columban institutions from each of these areas.

It is believed to have been created c. 800 AD.

The text of the Gospels is largely drawn from the Vulgate, although it also includes several passages drawn from the earlier versions of the Bible known as the Vetus Latina.

It is regarded as a masterwork of Western calligraphy and the pinnacle of Insular illumination.
