DECIPHERING AND DECODING THE SECRET CODES OF UNIVERSE
Manuscript by Diego de Landa Calderón, O.F.M. /1524 – 1579/
Latin and British Isles
The Book of Kells (Latin: Codex Cenannensis; Irish: Leabhar Cheanannais; Dublin, Trinity College Library, MS A. I., sometimes known as the Book of Columba) is an illuminated manuscript Gospel book in Latin, containing the four Gospels of the New Testament together with various prefatory texts and tables. It was created in a Columban monastery in either Britain or Ireland and may have had contributions from various Columban institutions from both Britain and Ireland. It is believed to have been created c. 800 AD. The text of the Gospels is largely drawn from the Vulgate, although it also includes several passages drawn from the earlier versions of the Bible known as the Vetus Latina. It is a masterwork of Western calligraphy and represents the pinnacle of Insular illumination. It is also widely regarded as Ireland's finest national treasure.
LINGVA LATINA
Audio vocem de mirabili futuro,
Matutinam vocem, rore humidam.
Audio vocem, et pericula ventura
Turbant mentem, sicut puero cuidam.
R.: Mirabile futurum, ne esto mihi durum,
Ne esto mihi durum, ne esto durum.
Origine ex pura ad optimum futurum,
Ad optimum futurum iam nunc egressus sum.

Audio vocem de mirabili futuro,
Illa vocat me in loca divina.
Audio vocem semper interrogaturam:
Quid iam fecerim pro die crastina?
Iuro me futurum bonum atque castum
Nec amicum relicturum miserum.
Audio vocem et festino hoc vocatu
Via aspera ad illud futurum.
