‘While the book will appeal instantly to those with an academic interest in Insular art, it is a marvellous illustration of the scope of research that is provided by the distinctive artefacts manuscripts and sculptures in which Ireland and Britain abound', Archaeology Ireland (2017)
'The overarching theme of this volume is both significant and ambitious. It aims to examine aspects of the early medieval art of Britain and Ireland, and through doing so to consider its wider connections with the art of Europe and the Mediterranean ... the illustrations, which are so important in a volume of this kind, are excellent', Cambrian Medieval Celtic Studies (Summer 2018).
