Sumario: | Jewish and Christian apocalyptic literature has injluenced the West over the centuries. At times this injluence has been stronger than in others, but the idea of the end of the world and of the Last Judgment have been present in the mentality of societies and have manifested themselves both in individual and collective behavior as in iconography and literature from different eras. In the case of the Middle Ages, the belief in the proximity of the end of time lived with the men and women of that time and was reflected in their thoughts, activities, fears, hopes and prayers. On this occasion, we analyze iconographic sources (Beato de Liébana and Beato de Facundo) and chroniclers (Abbon de Fleury, Raúl Glaber and Sigeberto de Gemloux) to understand and interpret the representations of the Apocalypse developed between the eighth and eleventh centuries. |
