The Book of Kells.

The Book of Kells is an illuminated 8th century, Latin manuscript which contains the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. Its pages are displayed at Ireland's Trinity College - Tel 608 1462 (entrance via Nassau Street 2) - where two sets of pages are turned and displayed each day. After what is usually a long wait through a maze of exhibits containing historic facts surrounding the book, the cost to view this artifact (discovered, fully preserved, in a peat bog), is 4 pounds.
