Beatus of Liébana (Spanish: Beato; c. 750 – c. 800) was a monk, theologian, and author of the Commentary on the Apocalypse, an influential compendium of previous authorities' views on the Apocalypse.

Beatus treats the reading of the book as the same as the body, and so by reading the book, the reader is one with Christ. Read more on Wikipedia
