Line 73:
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Brendan breaking through the scaffolding while chasing the goose.
* [[Funny Background Event]]: While Aidan and Brendan talk about important things, Pangur Ban slowly slides through Aidan's arms, her expression becoming more indignant by the second.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: The comic book [https://web.archive.org/web/20120216184958/https://comics.comixology.com/#/issue/4523/The-Secret-of-Kells-Prequel-1 prequel] reveals the Abbot's scar came from {{spoiler|a Viking's sword while rescuing Brendan as a toddler}}
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: Abbot Cellach.
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: The stabbings of {{spoiler|the dock worker}} and {{spoiler|Abbot Cellach}} happen off-camera.
Line 131:
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Brendan decides to investigate Crom's hideout despite the continued insistence of Aisling that he stay away.
* [[Uncatty Resemblance]]: The sheepherder. "Baaaaa!"
* [[Very Loosely Based on a True Story]]: Scholars put the creation of the book around the year 800, which means Colmcille (d. 597) can't have had a hand in it, and the historical [http://www.bedesworld.co.uk/aidan.htm St. Aidan]{{Dead link}} lived over 150 years earlier. Also, the cover wasn't stolen for another 200 years or so. There's not much we know for sure about the creation of the book (it might have been produced entirely at Iona or Kells, or some combination, or even Lindisfarne), so they had to take some liberties in order for there to be any plot.
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] when the monks at Kells can't agree on the history, either, including Colmcille's methods (third eye? three hands? 36 FINGERS?!), and simply get their facts wrong. One monk says the book was begun 300 years ago by Colmcille; impossible if Aidan knew him.
** And Pangur Bán was owned by an anonymous Irish monk in a ''German'' monastary.
