Wow fantastic find

[Just mythoughts]

This is very interesting and of all places Christian Ireland.

[Skooz]

Exceedingly cool.

It may have been lost in transit or dumped after a raid

Yep, I'll bet a Viking picked it up in a raid and then tossed it away after checking it over for any gold or encrusted jewels. He had no idea the contents were far more valuable than any jewels or precious metals.

This is the eeriest discovery I've ever heard of, especially given current events. It actually sends chills up my spine.

Oh, BTW, if the name 'Nechtan is in the front of the book...we want it back. ;)

[lilylangtree]

Fascinating!

[MineralMan]

I'd hardly equate this to the Dead Sea Scrolls, frankly. Yes, it's an old book of Psalms, but there's no new information in it. the Psalms date back way before 800 A.D.

Nice find, though.

In Scripture there are three reasons why the Lord keeps silence


3. There is a third reason: God, as it were, keeps silence in the midst of the greatest troubles, that he may, as it were, gather the wicked into one faggot, into one bundle, that they may be destroyed together. There is a great deal of ado to "gather the saints" in this world; and truly there is some ado to gather the wicked. So God withdraws himself from his people, yet he hath a hook within their hearts, he holds them up secretly by his Spirit, that they shall not leave him; yet the world shall not see but that God hath quite left them, and all their ordinances and his gospel and everything; and there the wicked come together and insult, whereby God may come upon them at once, and destroy them, as we find ten nations in the Psalm. And so in Genesis God stirs up the nations against Abraham and his posterity, and there are ten nations that God promised to cut off before Abraham at once, the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Canaanites, etc. So God heaps them together, and burns them like stubble. Those that burn stubble have rakes, and they gather it to heaps, and then they fire it. This is the way of God's keeping silence among his people, and sitting still in the midst of their miseries, thus God gathers their enemies in heaps as stubble, that he may burn them together. Gualter (Walter) Cradock, in "Divine Drops." 1650.

So, do you think any of the Museum personnel have thought about the significance of the that particular passage at this particular time?

[ApplegateRanch]

Bog find ping!

"In discovery terms this Irish equivalent to the Dead Sea Scrolls is being hailed by the Museum's experts as the greatest find ever from a European bog," the museum said in a statement.

Did a Catholic or a Protestant drop it? ; )
