[edit] Man, text and manuscript
There seems to be a great deal of confusion going on in this article and at Beatus of Liébana, Commentaries on the Apocalypse. Beatus of Liébana was a man. He wrote, among other things, a text, the Commentary on the Apocalypse. This text survives in several manuscripts, some of which are lavishly illuminated and are amongst the most important extant examples of Mozarabic illumination. I firmly believe that the man, the text and each of the manuscripts (or at least the illuminated ones) should have their own articles. As time permits, I will write articles for the manuscripts, unless someone beats me to it. Until then, I am going to convert this article into an article on the man, and redirect Beatus of Liébana, Commentaries on the Apocalypse to here. Dsmdgold 20:41, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
