Man, text and manuscript

[edit]

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)

Worse, although this is the page on Beatus, it is dominated by text that seems to have wandered in from Kingdom of Asturias. That may work in a term paper on the exegesis of the Commentaries, but the encyclopedia article should be about the man. I don't have the subject area knowledge to fix that; I just came across the article by accident, but I'll expand the bio with more information from Encyclopaedia Britannica.

Touché. The EB1911 article is primarily about the map and its derivatives, which should probably have its own article. David Brooks 18:09, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
