This source is a credible academic source for several reasons. The book focuses solely on the subject of the "Book of Kells", and therefore contains detailed information on this subject. The author of the book is Peter Brown, The former librarian of the Trinity College in Dublin Ireland, the place where the book is kept. One can therefore assume that the information is relevant and correct. The publisher, Thames and Hudson, publishes many academic resources on art archaeology, and architecture as well as many college books, so this book by Peter Brown is there for no a leisure book but an academic source. The only drawback of this source is that is not the most current source from Trinity College nor is Mr. Brown the most current librarian, the book was published in 1981 and new information may have been discovered since then.
