	That's where it's at, the Biblioteca Nazionale di Torino. 
The site is for an art studio, of course, that did the replica.

The Illustrated Beatus
Volume IV: The 11th and 12th Centuries
by John Williams

"This is the fourth in the series of catalogues that present 
detailed descriptions and complete cycles of illustrations 
of all existing manuscripts of the Commentary on the 
Apocalypse written by the eighth-century Spanish monk 
Beatus. The entire corpus, which spans the ninth to the 
thirteenth century, constitutes the greatest single 
tradition of Apocalyptic imagery in the Middle Ages.

The manuscripts catalogued here are from the eleventh and 
twelfth centuries: the Silos Beatus in London; the Corsini 
Beatus in Rome; the Turin Beatus; the Osma Beatus; the León
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Fragment and the Berlin Beatus. "
