«Celtic Design: Knotwork: The Secret Method of the Scribes» is Aidan Meehan's guide to Celtic knots, published by Thames and Hudson in paperback.
It explains the geometric and technical methods with which Celtic scribes created knots and interlace, such as those in the Gospels of Durrow, Lindisfarne and Kells. It shows how to adapt these motifs —taken from famous brooches and carvings— to borders, panels or carpet pages, and how to trace letters and illuminated pages in Celtic style.
In English, 160 pages and 434 illustrations. It belongs to the Celtic Design series; it was published in 1991.
Aimed at artists, designers and craftspeople seeking inspiration in the ornamental repertoire of Celtic art.
