The Book of Mulling, (Circa 650AD) is preserved along with its jewelled
shrine in Dublin at Trinity College Library. It is an Irish pocket
Gospel Book that was probably copied from an autograph manuscript of St.
Moling. The text includes the four
Gospels, a service which includes the "Apostles' Creed", and a plan of
St. Moling's monastery. The script is a fine Irish minuscule. The
decoration includes illuminated initials and three surviving Evangelist
portraits: those of Matthew, Mark and John (depicted f. 193).
