The book of Kells
Codex_Argenteus
According to legend, this alphabet and the order of its letters was composed by Fein’s Farsaidh, with the assistance of Goidel mac Etheoir
and lar mac Nema. As the story goes, Fenius was in the Holy Land at the time the Tower of Babel was being constructed. The
Bible states that, at this time, there was a single common language spoken by all the peoples of the earth. When this language
was changed and corrupted by God as his punishment for the building of the tower, Fenius sent seventy-two scholars out into
the world to learn every new language. When the scholars returned to the tower after 10 years had passed, Fenius selected
the best of the world’s languages and created in Berla tobaide, the ‘selected language.’ The name
given to this new language was Goidelic, named for Goidel mac Etheoir. This was the precursor to Gaelic.
