This
publication is the fifth and final volume in the series that catalogues
and illustrates all extant manuscripts of Beatuss Commentary on
the Apocalypse. It is a tradition that originated in the monastery of
San Toribio in the valley of Liébana, where the monk Beatus compiled
his commentary on the Book of Revelation in 776 A.D., and that had its
last manifestation in the stylistically exuberant manuscript in Paris,
the Arroyo Beatus, produced shortly before the middle of the thirteenth
century.
Six illustrated Commentaries and one fragment are catalogued in the
present volume. The spectacular Rylands Beatus in Manchester, dated
around 1175 and the Las Huelgas Beatus in New York, made some fifty
years later, contain the most complete cycles of illustrations, and
both also have links with the Castilian capital of Burgos. The Cardeña
Beatus, which has a more complex origin, is now divided between four
different collections, though a major part of the manuscript is now in
the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Also catalogued is the
sophisticated Romanesque Beatus of Navarre in Paris, as well as the
only Commentary produced in Portugal the Lorvão Beatus now in
Lisbon. The fragment also included here, consisting of a single folio
plus part of another, found its way from Medina de Rioseco to Mexico in
the 16th century, and by chance contained illustrations that
allowed it to be identified as part of a Beatus Commentary of the early
thirteenth century.
In addition to the authors Introduction and detailed catalogue,
the volume includes a corpus of more than 500 illustrations. As in the
catalogues of earlier periods, all inscriptions contained in the
manuscripts have been transcribed, and an overview of apocalypse
subjects illustrated in all 26 surviving manuscripts can be seen on the
clearly presented Table. The exhaustive Bibliography is here updated
and there is an Index.
