The Russell Library in St Patrick's College, Maynooth, is full of treasures, and one of its finest is a Bible made in the thirteenth or fourteenth century in France. It might well be the oldest Bible on the island of Ireland.
Acknowledgments: we are very grateful to the President of St Patrick's College, Maynooth, for giving us permission to film on campus, and to Alexandra Caccamo and the staff of the Russell Library, for facilitating our visit.
