Entre los siglos VII y XII, predominaba una forma distintiva de escritura e iluminación en los manuscritos producidos en el ámbito de la iglesia irlandesa.

Aunque se asocia principalmente con Gran Bretaña e Irlanda, la reputación de Irlanda de enseñanza y la actividad misionera asociada con las fundaciones irlandesas provoca que hoy los textos insulares se encuentren en colecciones de bibliotecas de todo el continente y más allá.

A partir de investigaciones recientes llevadas a cabo en el Trinity College de Dublín y de la jubilación del eminente erudito y especialista en manuscritos insulares, el Dr. Bernard Meehan, este libro examina la cultura del manuscrito irlandés desde una amplia gama de perspectivas.
