Superbly reproduced here in pages that photographically duplicate the vivid, colorful leaves of the original work, the medieval manuscript known as the Morgan Beatus is the illustrated Commentary on the Apocalypse of St. John, coupled with St. Jerome's Commentary on Daniel, which is customarily appended to it. The work was first compiled in the 8th century by the Spanish monk Beatus of Liebana, and has been preserved at the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York since 1919. All 131 of the exquisite illustrations and illuminations are presented along with their Latin text, and the volume provides substantial commentary on the manuscript. The volume may be slightly imperfect.
