Celtic Illuminative Art in the Gospel Books of Durrow, Lindisfarne, and Kells, a Classic Reprint
Excerpt from Celtic Illuminative Art in the Gospel Books of Durrow, Lindisfarne, and Kells Every nation there has been manifested, in varying degrees, a desire for decoration; and the objects selected for ornamental embellish ment, together with the type of decorative design employed, afford an indication of the character and pursuits of a nation no less than of the position it has attained in artistic achievement. The desire that books should be made beautiful is of great antiquity. Evidence of this is to be found amongst the most ancient civilizations: for example, an Egyptian papyrus is preserved in the Louvre at Paris containing a description of funeral rites pictorially adorned in colours, and embellished with gold.

Restoration Ministries had been active with E Raymond Capt and other Scholars, hosting and co-hosting their seminars, and distributing books from the 1980s. In 2000 Dr Stephen M B Knott was made Editor of the Ministry Newsletter. Dr Knott was appointed manager of the Celts Roots bookshop in 2003 (a business of Dr Warren Johnson).
We owe a debt of gratitude to Dr Johnson and E. Raymond Capt M.A. A.I.A. F.S.A. SCOT. (Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland etc) for their hard work, coaching and inspiration during our founding years. Since then numerous festivals have enjoyed this genre of Celtic books.
