Introduction to the Geneva Beatus

The Geneva Beatus Commentary on the Apocalypse came to light late in 2007, when the manuscript holdings of the Congrégation des Missionnaires de Saint François de Sales (Institut Floriment, Geneva) were given in deposit to the Bibliothèque de Genève. ⁷⁴ At some point, probably in the fourteenth or fifteenth century, ⁷⁵ the Commentary had been bound together in a single codex with Priscian’s Institutiones grammaticae (fols. 1–148^v; the Beatus Commentary comprises folios 149–245^v).
