Benedict of Bari

), Italian Benedetto da Bari, Latin Benedictus Barensis, was a Benedictine monk of Santissima Trinità della Cava dei Tirreni who wrote the Christian theological treatise De septem sigillis (On the Seven Seals).

[4] De septem sigillis survives in a single illustrated manuscript in Beneventan script kept at La Cava (Cavensis 18).

The author is depicted advanced in age with a younger man's head imposed above him.

This single double-headed figure is probably intended to represent the author when he began and when he finished.

[4] De septem sigillis is divided into six books[1] subdivided into 361 chapters.
