About

For the first time, The Red Book of Ossory is on public display at St Canice's Cathedral in Kilkenny, where it was written almost 700 years ago.

Having survived wars, plagues, and centuries, The Red Book is the centrepiece of a year-long exhibition that takes visitors on a journey through time, offering a glimpse into the lives of ordinary citizens in Medieval Kilkenny.

Among its pages is the first recorded recipe for Aqua Vitae, known today as whiskey. The manuscript also features early provisions of the Magna Carta, poems, songs, and a letter from King Edward III expressing concern that noble Englishmen had 'gone native'.
