"When she returned to N.Y.C. she spoke of this book, which she said was produced by Anglos living in Ireland, since it is kept in Trinity College. According to this college grad, the native Irish lacked the intellectual capacity to create such a great work." Preliminarily, your cousin is a degenerate moron if she was at all serious - it's like saying the Greek civilization was created by the british because they house Greek loot from their nation mugging in british museums. Notably, while the Book of Kells was being created by the indigenous Irish, the alien "anglo-saxons" were illiterate.

A New York-born cousin of mine first visited Ireland in the early '70s and saw the Boof Kells on display. When she returned to N.Y.C. she spoke of this book, which she said was produced by Anglos living in Ireland, since it is kept in Trinity College. According to this college grad, the native Irish lacked the intellectual capacity to create such a great work.
