Students could once borrow the Book of Kells

SHARE
The student protests against Israel could be the most important consequence of the Hamas attack and Gaza slaughter. We shall see. 

Trinity College, Dublin fined its students' union €214,000 over the protests, to cover the loss of revenues from visitors who come to see the Book of Kells. 

Karl White tells me rhat the Book of Kells was available in the 17th century for borrowing by students against a surety of £3 10s.

    I don't know. Someone found a first edition of Mill's 'On Liberty' on the shelves of the library where I work a while back. It was withdrawn to collections.
