A paleontologist working at Cornell has published an interesting theory about how the monks responsible for famous insular manuscripts like the Book of Kells were able to paint intricate patterns at such tiny scales without the benefit of high-quality lenses <http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/Sept09/KellsAngels.html>.  He suggests they used a technique modernly known as free-fusion stereocomparison, which allowed them to use their own eyes to magnify what they saw by 10 to 30 times.
