Lest we miss marking St. Columba's day...
Last year's post included a thread discussing some features of Insular script.

Today is the feast of St. Columba, d. 597, Iona's founder! This manuscript, Schaffhausen, Stadtbibliothek, MS Gen. 1, is the oldest copy of the Life of Columba by Adomnán, abbot of Iona, d. 704. The MS was copied on Iona no later than 713. 🕯️🧵
