Text page from a Mirror of Holiness (Mir’at al-quds) of Father Jerome Xavier

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a beige, old, and worn book opened to reveal a single page with writing on it. The page features a central text box outlined in blue and orange. The box contains black text written in a language that appears to be Arabic script, possibly Persian or Urdu. The text is arranged in paragraphs, with the top of the box containing a smaller line of text in a lighter shade. The majority of the page is filled with black text arranged in lines and there are some notes written in black ink at the bottom left. The book's pages are yellowed and have visible signs of wear, including tears along the left edge, and darker spots likely due to age or water damage. The background of the image is a mottled grey-brown color.
