The Girona Beatus manuscript serves as a prime example of how plants are used in apocalyptic literature to convey allegories.
Known as the Girona Beatus (or *Beatus de Girona*), and cataloged in the cathedral archives of Girona, Spain, as Ms. 7, this manuscript is a richly illuminated copy of the *Commentary on the Apocalypse* by the monk Beatus of Liébana.
It is, therefore, neither a herbal containing recipes nor a medical text. Given that the Book of Enoch is also an apocalyptic work—a book containing revelations—the same technique is employed there.
