James in See also:Spain, and so forth—has survived in ten more or less modified copies. One only of these—the " Osma " of 1203 — preserves the Apostolic pictures; among the remaining examples, that of " St Sever," now at See also:Paris, and dating from about 1030, is the most valuable; that of " Valcavado," recently in the See also:Ashburnham Library, executed in 970, is the earliest; that of " See also:Turin," dating from about 1roo, is perhaps the most curious. Three others—" See also:Valladolid " of about 1035, " See also:Madrid " of 1047, and " See also:London " of 1109—are derivatives of the " Valcavado-Ashburnham" of 970; the eighth, " Paris II," is connected, though not very intimately, with " St Sever," otherwise " Paris I "; the ninth and tenth, " See also:Gerona " and " Paris III," belong to the Turin See also:group of Beatus maps. All these See also:works ai.e emphatically of " dark-See also:age " See also:character; very seldom do they suggest the true forms of countries, seas, See also:rivers or mountains, but they embody some useful See also:information as to See also:early See also:medieval conditions and See also:history. St Isidore appears to be their See also:principal authority; they also draw, directly or indirectly, from See also:Orosius, St See also:Jerome, St See also:Augustine, and probably from a lost map of classical antiquity, represented in a measure by the Peutinger Table of the 13th See also:century.
