The Turin Codex is an early twelfth-century manuscript of Beatus of Liébana’s commentary on the Christian biblical book of the Apocalypse. It is the only illustrated Beatus manuscript attributable to Catalonia. Its 106 miniatures seem to have been copied from those in an earlier copy of the commentary donated to the cathedral of Girona but in a bolder palette featuring saturated primary colors. Its full-page miniature of scenes from the life of Christ in four registers is an unusual inclusion in a Beatus manuscript (fol. 16r).

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.
