All 340 folios of the Book are made available on one CD-ROM. A unique zoom feature allows examination of the illuminated folios in detail. 

A wealth of additional information is presented, ranging from the origins of the Book's history, the scribes who created it, the materials they used and the design systems of the day, to the many themes of the Book, including details of animals, angels, monks and illuminated capital letters.

The CD-ROM has been developed by the Library of Trinity College Dublin and X Communications, and it is the only authorised digital version of the Book of Kells.

There are two editions of the CD-ROM: 500 numbered limited editions with special packaging designed by Malcolm Garrett and editions with standard packaging.

The cost of the two editions is:

Limited edition Sold Out
Standard edition Sold Out

These prices do not include postage, overseas or airmail, which will be added to all orders.
