- The Book of Kells Facsimile Edition: An Iona University Treasure at the Ryan Library (Video)It was on the Isle of Iona that the illuminated Gospel manuscript, the Book of Kells, was produced through the labor of monastic scribes and artists. Iona University is the proud beneficiary of a rare facsimile of the Book of Kells. Iona University faculty colleagues from five different disciplines collaborated to analyze this famous manuscript through the lens of their diverse academic areas. Together, they produced this video. This project weaves together the scholarship of: Dr. Christina Andruk, Biology and Environmental Studies; Dr. Christina Carlson, English; Sr. Kathleen Deignan, Sr. Kathleen Deignan Institute of Earth and Spirit; Dr. Kathleen Kristian, Chemistry; Prof. Tom Ruggio, Fine Arts; and Dr. Daniel Thiery, History. Supporters of this initiative included: the Council on the Arts, the Office of Mission and Ministry, Ryan Library, and the Sr. Deignan Institute. Mr. Ian Limbaga served as the videographer for this project.
