Trinity College Dublin Library's own custodial catalogue record for the Book of Kells, manuscript 58, is the institution's direct physical custody record for the illuminated gospel book it holds and displays. Its strength is the most reliable available authority for the manuscript's shelfmark, condition and display history. Its limit is that a catalogue record establishes custody and identification, not a scholarly study of the manuscript's artistic or textual content, and no named author, publication year or standalone url is given here because a live institutional catalogue record of this kind is properly cited by shelfmark and library rather than as a dated publication.
