The Tower Scriptorium of Tà bara. From the Las Huelgas Apocalypse, text by Beatus of Liebana. Spain 1220 CE. The representation of the celebrated scriptorium of San Salvador de Tábara was copied from a Beatus manuscript completed in Tábara in 970, and is the earliest "portrait" of a medieval scriptorium in a manuscript. It shows the scribe and illuminator laying out their folios, while a novice trims parchment. In the tower, three men ring the bells, which functioned as the community's clock. MS. M.429, F.183.
