The Saint-Sever Beatus, also known as the Apocalypse of Saint-Sever (Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, MS lat. 8878), is a French Romanesque illuminated Apocalypse manuscript from the 11th century. It was made at the Abbey of Saint-Sever. It contains the Commentary on the Apocalypse of Beatus of Liébana. The Saint-Sever Beatus was the work of monks working under the direction of abbot Gregori de Montaner; Abbot Gregori held the post from 1028 to 1072. The exhibits at the Jacobins Museum include illuminations from the Saint-Sever Beatus.
