The Book of Deer, the oldest surviving Scottish manuscript that contains Gaelic Writing, described as “one of the principal antiquities of Celtic Scotland” it was written in a long lost monastery in Aberdeenshire that Archaeologist say, has just been Discovered
The exact location had remained a Mystery, but samples collected from a ruined site appear to confirm the exact location where the manuscript was written over 1000 Years Ago,
The Samples were recovered by the University of Aberdeen, and carefully processed under the supervision of Dr Gordon Noble, who announced that "The monastery where the historic Book of Deer manuscript was written has been discovered" #BookofDeer
The Book of Deer includes Illuminations of the whole of the New Testament Gospel of St. John and parts of the other three Gospels, an early version of the Apostles’ Creed, and a later charter granted to the monks by King David I of Scotland. The illuminations, capitals, borders, and pictures of the Evangelists, resemble those in earlier Irish Gospels.
It was discovered in 1860 in the library of the University of Cambridge.
The Gaelic memorandums (the earliest extant Gaelic written in Scotland) provide information on a little known period of Scottish history, the end of the Celtic period. They give details of clan organization, land divisions, and monastic land tenure and an account of the monastery’s foundation, the location of which, has just been discovered #Scottishhistory
