Just Genesis

ABSTRACT: "The two Catalan manuscripts known as the Ripoll and Roda Bibles are giant Latin Bibles written and illustrated at the beginning of the eleventh century in the monastery of Ripoll, during the long abbacy of Oliba (1008–46). During this time of spiritual and cultural renewal the monks of the Ripoll scriptorium probably worked on a new recension of the Bible designed for study rather than liturgy and produced these one volume giant works, by collecting and unifying a vast amount of biblical, exegetical and pictorial material."

hare 'ararat - hills of 'ararat. This is likely a pun on the Arabic word herarat - حرار - which means vehemence, a reference to God's wrath.

In the Chaldean Genesis the ark rests upon Nizir, a region to the east of Assyria, the highest peak of which is called "the mountain of the world" (Elwend) in the cuneiform texts (Chaldean Genesis, p. 307).

The idea that the Ark came to rest on a ridge in Armenia dates from the 11th century A.D when the Armenians began to identify Ararat as the ark's landing place. This was repeated in the two Catalan manuscripts known as the Ripoll and Roda Bibles written in Latin and illustrated at the beginning of the eleventh century in the monastery of Ripoll, during the long abbacy of Oliba (1008–46).
