Gospel Book with Evangelist Portraits: Decorated Initial

The image shows an open book. The book page is yellowed and aged, with black text written in an old-fashioned calligraphy style. The left and right margins contain columns of text. The text on the left side of the page has a line written in red ink. A blue, gold and red illuminated initial capital letter "S" is centered on the page at the top of a column. The blue and gold letters and designs are surrounded by a red filigree pattern. The background of the image is white. The image appears to be a medieval manuscript. The overall design and style suggest that the book is a Gospel Book. The initial suggests the start of a section or chapter. The presence of evangelist portraits is not shown but implied in the title.
