The miniature of the Tábara scriptorium

Curiosity · Tábara, Tierra de Tábara, Zamora

Image of Tábara, not of the place itself.

In the Beatus of Tábara the monastery tower is drawn with the copying workshop inside it and the names of Emeterio and Senior written above their heads: the oldest known representation of a scriptorium in European art.
