The Beato of Valcavado is an illuminated manuscript—copies of the Commentary on the Apocalypse of Saint John of Beatus of Liébana—copied by a monk called Oveco in the year 970, in the now-vanished Our Lady of Valcavado monastery in Palencia. It is held in the collection of the Santa Cruz Palace.
In 970, during the reign of Ramiro III of León, a monk named Oveco in the monastery at Valcavado copied and made miniatures on parchment for Valcavado's abbot, Sempronio, of the commentary by Saint Beatus of the Santo Toribio de Liébana monastery between 765 and 775 AD. The Valcavado Beatus is among the 32 copies that still exist today of this work, many of them lavishly illuminated.
