The Escorial Codex is an illuminated manuscript of Beatus of Liébana‘s commentary on the Apocalypse, the Christian biblical book that describes Saint John the Divine’s vision of the End Times. It was created at the monastery at San Millán de la Cogolla around 1000. The manuscript's fifty-two miniatures, some framed and others unframed, are remarkable for the expressive facial features and large oval eyes of the human figures and for the idiosyncratic use of yellows, browns, and dark greens.

We have 1 facsimile edition of the manuscript "Beatus de Liébana - Escorial Codex": Beato del Escorial facsimile edition, published by Testimonio Compañía Editorial, 1994

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.
