There's this one that I've put onto 'une clé USB' (I'm not sure how you say that in English or Irish for that matter) and you go along and get it printed out at the photocopy shop and then you can put it into a file (a real three dimensional one where you turn the pages by hand, wouldn't you know)
Jimín Mháire Thaidhg - (I was thinking of sending it as a present to a couple of people I know here, but that's out of bag now, isn't it)
https://archive.org/details/jimnmhiretha00osiouoftWhen you compare that to the English version published chez O'Brien, I have a slight suspicion that they've made a few cuts in the text vis à vis the original, and even the pictures aren't the same.
If you want to see what the original seanchló looked like you can have a look at the on-line archives at the National Library in Dublin and you can zoom in on the illuminated letters at the beginning of each page and of course you can also look at the original page where Pangur Bán was written down - that's in the archives of the monastery where it was found.
Please note that though the style of the illustrations in the Book of Kells and the others such as Durrow are Gaelic (notice I didn't say Irish) the text is in Latin and the style of writing is uncial and more adapted to that language rather than to Gaelic. You'd be surprised how many people don't realise that. Uncial or half-uncial has influenced the way Irish has been printed ever since and it's been argued about over and over ever since as well, so I won't go into that.
Here in Paris at the former Irish College, one of the priests managed to get a French printer to make up letters based on his own handwriting in order to put into print one of the earliest Irish English dictionaries ever to have been compiled and you can see pages of that on-line as well.
