Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open book with yellowed pages and black text in a language that appears to be Latin. The left page is mostly text, while the right page has a large block of text and a small illuminated image. The image is a circular frame with a blue background and a gold border. Inside the frame, a man in an orange robe holds a basket and two stones. An angel with wings and a halo grasps the man's hair. The frame is positioned at the beginning of a section of text, indicated by a large, decorative letter "O" above it. The top of the page has a decorative header with red, blue, and gold letters.
