The last part of one section of this work features two serpentine monsters that function as lateral diagonal ornaments. The"Doubtful Portrait" depicts a man holding a book and sitting in a throne, accompanied by two peacocks sitting on plants in vases. Its "Monogram" section faces its only depiction of the eight circled cross, while the Evangelical symbols appear above narrow columns framed by decorative pillars in the section depicting the Eusebian Canons. Black, red, purple, and yellow ink are each used for a different gospel, and this work's combination of zoomorphic and phyllomorphic forms distinguishes it from the similar (*) Book of Durrow and Lindisfarne Gospels. Written in Insular majuscule script, for 10 points, name this illuminated Gospel book found in an Irish abbey.
