Ptolemy’s
Geography
, compiled in the second century
AD
, charted the position of Ireland on the edge of the Roman world; this map is a thirteenth-century copy.

The opening page of Matthew’s Gospel in the
Book of Kells
. This famous illuminated manuscript is a dazzling example of early Irish art.

The national saint, captured in the stained glass of St Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin. Christianity had in fact taken root in the country well in advance of Patrick’s mission to Ireland, and his exalted status in history owes much to politics and to later hagiography.

Detail from the Ardagh Chalice, wrought in gold, bronze and silver. This treasure of early monastic Ireland was lost for centuries, before being rediscovered in 1868 in a County Limerick field.

The tomb of Columbanus at Bobbio, high in the Apennines of northern Italy. Columbanus founded monasteries across a swathe of western Europe; he died at Bobbio in November 615.
