Book Description
The first of five volumes that will offer the entire corpus of extraordinary illuminations from 26 codices spanning the 9th to the 13th century, which contain portions of the Commentary on the Apocalypse, the Book of Revelation, compiled by the Asturian monk Beatus around the year 776. These illustrations represent the greatest single tradition of Apocalyptic imagery in the Middle Ages. The present introductory volume provides a general overview of the textual and visual tradition of all manuscripts containing Beatus' commentary. Includes 41 color plates and 100 monochrome illustrations. Distributed by Oxford U. Press. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
