Symbol for Christ ChiRho page book of Kells. the book of Kells is an illuminated manuscript on vellum animal hide from around 800AD. It was a joint project between Britain and Ireland beginning at St Colmcilles monastery of Iona off the west coast of Scotland and being completed in Kells in Ireland. The original book shrine cover made have been stolen by Viking raiders, but the book itself I think was found in a bog and used by local farmers to cure their cattle from diseases by dipping it in their drinking water.
