Abstract
Most interpretative scholarship on the Book of Kells has, quite correctly, focused on how the book could have been used for private meditation. But the rich decoration of the manuscript suggests that it had public roles to play as well as private ones. This paper propounds some ways in which such a lavish gospel book might have been put to communal liturgical use in the context of monastic liturgy.
