In reference to the Magna Charta, Evelyn Leeper writes:

One might claim, I suppose, that it is often cited in the same way
as the Bible--by people who take pieces out of context and are
unfamiliar with the entirety.

In my father's Orange family, this was taken in an almost-humorous
way by the Book of Kells.   "Male prostitution?  Oh yeah, that's in
the Book of Kells."   "You need a recipe for pie crust?  It's probably
in the Book of Kells."

Many years later, I went to Dublin for the Worldcon and actually saw
the Book of Kells and it was not as comprehensive as I had been lead
to believe.
