Single leaf from a Decretum by Gratian: Quadruple Arcade with Concordance of Greek and Latin Alphabets. The image shows an aged, off-white parchment page with text and a colorful illustration. The left side contains dense black text in a medieval script, with some letters in red and gold. The right side features a quadruple arcade with four rounded arches. Underneath each arch are colorful columns with blue, green, and red details. The columns have bases and capitals decorated with blue and red. Inside the columns, vertical text lists the Greek and Latin alphabets side-by-side. The Greek alphabet appears in red on the left side of the columns, and the Latin alphabet appears in red on the right side. The background behind the parchment is plain and gray.
