Off hand I’d say the newsies are trying to make much ado about nothing. The Romans had long established outposts throughout Britain and it would not have been out of the realm of possibility for them to establish outposts in Ireland. Rather than coming from some previously unknown Egyptian trade, I’d wager that the psalm book written in Latin as it is, probably came from the Romans. Especially since the Romans imported so many trade goods from Egypt.

Thanks for the very interesting post. Regardless of the route taken, it looks like some fairly sophisticated trade routes were open during the so-called Dark Ages.

The National Museum in Dublin plans to put the psalter on public display for the first time next year. Oh...I'd better start saving my pennies. I'd love to go back and see that. My last (only) trip to Ireland was the week of 9/11. Next year would mark a decade. Seems like a fitting goal, doesn't it?
I saw the most wonderful artifacts in the Dublin Museum retrieved from the bogs -- bodies, weapons, gold bracelets and buckles, etc., all miraculously preserved. This psalter is a miracle that they could even open it. I remember when they found it. I read about it here, thanks to Sunken Civ and blam.
