An Anonymous Irish Gloss on the Apocalypse

About 700 AD an anonymous Irish teacher, working in a monastic setting, wrote this gloss on the Apocalypse.Reconstructed from three early medieval commentaries which made use of it, the gloss shows how this early Irish Christian, influenced by the fourth-century Exposition of the Apocalypse by Tyconius of Carthage, interpreted the Book of Revelation.The Latin text with interfacing English translation depicts how the author understood the 144,000 sealed, the beast, the two witnesses, 666, the Battle of Armageddon, the millennium, the New Jerusalem, and other visions of the Book of Revelation.
