And the Book of Kells can be seen downstairs. A great day out at Trinity College.

Climate change…… someone should tell Jeff Bezos to ditch his super yachts, private jets and mega mansions.. pass the word to all our leaders in the WEF

Thank you! I really did enjoy the video. My tour group will visit Trinity College today! 👍🇺🇸

Visited last year from Australia. It was truly magical. An absolute highlight of my trip.

❤❤❤❤😅

I was there in April and really enjoyed my visit!

I visited there in April and loved it!

I could listen to this woman teach all day.

Where are the leprechauns

My bucket list is not long and I won’t accomplish anything on it. But I keep it as a dream. This library is being added to it today. So beautiful and full of mystery and wonder! Wow, all those books! All the stories they could tell. 😌

Only two weeks ago I was there. Amazing, astonished place. Thank you God, that I could be in the treasure of the Trinity collage.

One of the top treasures of humankind! What a great work of art! My dream would be to read each and every book in the entire library!

Thank you for the marvelously clear close-up details.

What a wonderful presentation!!! Thank You!!!

My family and I were there May 2018. It was incredible, as you walked into the long room you could smell the intoxicating aroma of the books. Nothing quite like the smell of old books. Unfortunately, they packed us in like sardines and you really couldn't enjoy the tour as much. The isles that were the bookshelves were corded off so everyone was down the middle. The Book of Kells viewing room was very small and people were not allowing others to see the book. There really wasn't very much organization to it.

Excellent presentation!

I went there With my class it soo good it the best

July 2024 we'll be there.....tickets booked.

See you in July 2024! So excited.

I thought snakes represented satan?

Thank you for sharing yours video of library!

mesmerizing

A wonderful place 😍

Wow 🤩

I understand that the book is shown each day a different page. Is there such a thing for those if us that live many thousands of miles away online please ?

A cat playing a piano can get 1M views but something like this can only manage 37K views. Thats very telling!

Went there last year for my 60th. Slainte

Thank you for your tour. I was unable to join a recent trip to Ireland and your tour was almost like being there.

Grazie Andrea per la tua professionalita' da vero divulgatore scentifico....Bravo

Hermosisima!!!!!❤

Don't - Go To visit Book of Kells!! I had the most outrage treatment at the gift shop of the Book of Kells exhibition at the Trinity College - with my family including two 5 & 6 year old children. Because there was no public bathroom at the exhibition building, their father had to use it at another building. While I waited with the children at the shop, a male staff wanted us to leave even though we bought their merchandises. I explained the situation and pled with him to let us stay because the shop was our meeting place and their father's US phone did not work in Ireland. He replied "I gave you 5 minutes. Leave." I was so shocked and speechless at his rudeness and callousness. We were their customers, we had two children just waiting for someone to return from the bathroom, and it was pouring rain outside. Seriously, this guy didn't care about the customers, or children. He wanted to kick us out in the rain outside! Fortunately their father returned shortly. But this will always be my bad memory of Ireland. I do not recommend Book of Kells and the Trinity college for any visitors - based on my experience, I think it is overrated. People should know about it!! BTW, most shelves in the library are empty. There are only two pages of the book that you get to see at the exhibition.

Happy to visit #journey*

The first time I visited Ireland I went to Trinity college. I saw the Long Room & yes, it almost took my breath away! It's so medieval, dark & foreboding. It made me think of the old castles, knights & jousting. One thing that surprised me (well, 2 things), was how small it is. I guess I was expecting a book maybe 3Xs as large. Secondly, it was how bright & vibrant the colors still were! You'd think the ink/paint or whatever the used to be pretty fairly faded. But that wasn't the case. It was a magnificently beautiful piece of history. And yes, I had almost every one of those questions still unanswered! Thanks for a great video!!

Thank you for the tour! I can't wait to go in person one day.

Lions cubs were born dead for three days when their father arrived and breathed over them... that reminds me of my own father after I was born and stopped breathing. My father was said to have ripped the top off the incubator and breathed air into my lungs and saved my life. this was a tome before electronic alarms sounding if any vitals need attention. being from the State of the Lions 🦁 Maine, any the father bringing life reminded Dad and ME. thanks, dad. seems I had a mission to fill fulfill

Good, extraordinary good dear Madame you have given us the answers of ten questions in a very good Rythemicall way. This work is known as the creation of Angeles as it is considered a wonderful creation beyond the capacity of human beings. Even if the legend tells so, the reall work was done by 18 year young monks lt is even more wonderful. Certainly there is God's intervention Thank you Madam G

Wonderful. Thank you so much

One of the most unfortunate things historically, to me at least, was the fire at Alexandria and the lost of all that was written down in the books. I believe we need to preserve these things for future generations. Good luck in the preservation!

Came here to learn more about the Book of Kells and was not disappointed. Thank you for this lovely video. And my ears perked up when you said you have a first edition of the Book of Mormon! Hello from Utah, US, and that of a former Mormon. I love learning of early belief systems and the Book of Kells and the Book of Mormon are absolutely fascinating. So while I’m no longer a believer, the history is worth learning. Cheers.

Fascinating! Definitely on my bucket list to see this in person. Loved what you said about the little notes monks wrote to each other like “I’m so tired of this” ❤️

Thanks for this beautiful presentation, given by a woman of great knowledge and inspiration. What a shame that women of this old time seems to be invisible...The Book of Kells, written only by monks? No nuns, even if there have been famous and highly educated women among the irish catholic community? All this beautiful, detailed busts....only famous men ? Come on, there have been famous women as well, there have been female writers and philosophers....This world of men is only one half of the history !! Why don't show the other half ???

🧝🧝‍♀️🧝‍♂️

fascinating--thanks so much for the detail and for taking care of this priceless treasure.

New subscriber, I love reading, I wish I had my bookshelves full of books, or a bookshop near where I live.

This library could have been used during the filming of "Harry Potter"

Thank you for such a wonderful Q and A. You mentioned some books have never been viewed. Are all of these books catalogued? Is the catalogue digital? What books aren’t viewed? As an American, I am not familiar with Trinity College. Are all of the books religiously based? Are there science books, for example? What is the oldest book in the Long Room stacks? How many separate versions of the Bible do you have, including the Old Testament? Do you have any of the Jewish Gemara or Hebrew writings?

Muy interesante

do you have to book a tour or are they usually available same day? We will be there decemeber 27 though january 1st and didnt see anything available on the website

What about James Joyce? Did he ever visit?

Are the books in the Long Room accessible to readers or visitors?
