Book of Kells is now free to view online.

You most likely didn't receive a degree in medieval literature, so the Book of Kells is probably vague nonexistent What the hell's a Book of Kells? obscure material.

It's like a poor man's bible with meticulous drawings and text that's the calligraphy equivalent of Liberace, circa 1976 (minus the candelabras), and makes a Ph.D. candidate in medieval literature asthmatic with excitement.

Now, the 1,200-year old book is re-scanned with all-new digital imagery and free to view through the website of Trinity College in Dublin.

No--wait, that's the medieval version of Mary and Jesus? So Jesus is a marionette?? I'm so confused.
