One of the lesser-known manuscripts of Beatus of Liébana’s commentary on the Christian biblical book of the Apocalypse, the Osma Codex was produced in 1086 by the scribe Petrus and the illuminator Martinus at the Benedictine monastery of Saints Facundus and Primitivus in Sahagún. The style of its illumination reflects the emerging Romanesque aesthetic, testimony to the monastery’s connections across the Pyrenees at the time. Its seventy miniatures include a mappa mundi (world map) that extends across two facing pages (fols. 34v-35r).

We have 2 facsimiles of the manuscript "Beatus de Liébana – Burgo de Osma Codex":

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
