Is this older than the Book of Kells or is the fact that it is so well intact the remarkable thing?

The book in the article is approximately 70 to 100 years older than the Book of Kells. There are many books that are even older. What makes this one special is that it has not been rebound, as the Book of Kells and most medieval codices have been.
