Leaves from a Christian Homily

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a yellowed, aged piece of parchment with handwritten text. The parchment is rectangular with uneven edges, and the top and bottom are slightly curved. It is off-white with brown spots and darker brown discoloration around the edges. The text is written in black ink with some red ink used for accents. The writing is in an ancient language, possibly Greek. The text is arranged in columns, with two columns visible on the parchment. The columns are separated by a thin line. The parchment appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging. The background of the image is white. The title of the work is "Leaves from a Christian Homily" and the artist is unknown.
