Beatus page

noun

Definitions

  1. A decorative folio found in the illuminated manuscripts of the work of Beatus of Liébana.

    • The B of the Beatus page is in keeping with late Saxon developments, for in addition to the usual scroll-work, a number of little figures appear clambering amongst the stems; Wormald has aptly termed this the ‘gymnastic’ style.
