[Nordskogen] Fwd: Ancient book of psalms found in Irish bog

[Sarah Fowlston]

This story was on the CBS Evening News and they even showed an image of 
the book.  Unfortunately, there was little to see except in the center 
you could see some of the writing.  I think that is how they arrived at 
the approximate dating.  It looked like there was a lot of curling 
around the edges into the a small area in the center.  I am thinking it 
may turn out to be one of the personal books from that time that were 
mostly undecorated, often with no illumination at all.  But based on the 
picture it was miraculous that it survived.
