The methods behind the technical and artistic perfection of these marvellous interlaced patterns are revealed here for all: the simple knot is developed into a border, panel, or traditional carpet-page, a form which reached its climax in the richly decorated Gospel books. Knotwork is examined in detail against the sacred background from which it sprang, and illustrations of motifs taken from famous brooches and carvings show how Celtic knots can be adapted for all manner of craftwork.
