Google is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day today with a homepage doodle that was inspired by the Book of Kells, a 9th-century gospel manuscript.
“Try knot to miss our Book-of-Kells-inspired doodle for St. Patrick’s Day,” Google tweeted today.
The colorful doodle focused on the “Celtic knots and the Chi Rho [monogram] from the Book of Kells,” Google doodler Jennifer Hom told the Washington Post’s Comic Riffs.
The Book of Kells, currently housed in the Old Library at Dublin’s Trinity College, is “celebrated for its lavish decoration,” according to the college. “The manuscript contains the four Gospels in Latin based on a Vulgate text, written on vellum (prepared calfskin), in a bold and expert version of the script known as ‘insular majuscule.'” link
