Text, folio 21 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

Yellowed parchment page with brown ink writing in a foreign language, likely Greek, with dark brown ink. The page displays a continuous block of text, with no images or illustrations. The writing is in a formal script and appears to be in a single column. The parchment is aged, with visible signs of wear around the edges, including darkening and fraying. The right edge of the parchment is uneven, with small tears and rough texture. The background of the image is gray. A portion of the parchment's binding is visible on the left edge. The page appears to be from a historical or religious text. The text includes accents and diacritical marks. The overall appearance suggests an ancient manuscript. The page number is 21.
