An Leabhar Mòr

An Leabhar Mòr

"An Leabhar Mòr", subtitled "The Great Book of Gaelic", is a celebration of the modern Celtic muse. Published in 2002 by Proiseact nan Ealan (the Gaelic Arts Agency), it contains an anthology of poetry in Irish and Scottish Gaelic from the 17th to the 20th century combined with artwork and calligraphy by dozens of contemporary artists. It has been described as a 21st-century "Book of Kells". Its encompassing of Ireland and Scotland in a single cultural spectrum may be seen in the context of the Columba Initiative.
