Abstract

The Iconography, text, origin and date of the Book of Deer will be considered. A new interpretation of the imagery will be proposed, the imagery being placed in the context of other Insular manuscripts and in relation to the Gospel texts of Deer. Furthermore, it will be argued that the book functioned, to a certain extent, as a protective talisman.
