The Book of Mulling (Dublin, Trinity College Library MS A. I. 15) is an Irish pocket Gospel Book from the last half of the 8th century. The book was probably copied from an autograph manuscript of St. Moling. The text includes the four Gospels, a service which includes the "Apostles' Creed", and a plan of St. Moling's monastery. The script is a fine Irish minuscule. The decoration includes illuminated initials and three surviving Evangelist portraits: those of Matthew, Mark and John. Its jeweled shrine is also preserved at Trinity College.
