| Description | In 776 Beatus, a staunchly orthodox monk from the monastery of San Martín de Turieno in Liébana in northern Spain, assembled a commentary on the Book of Revelation, also known as the Apocalypse. Lavishly illustrated and known today as the Beatus manuscripts, the copies of this text made by medieval scribes and illuminators hold a singular place in the history of medieval illumination. Ranging in date from around 885 to around 1240, the surviving Beatus manuscripts and fragments comprise over fifteen hundred individual illuminations. Vol. 2 contains H.A. Sanders' 1930 transcription of the Latin text, and commentaries on Beatus' work. |
