Text, folio 13 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

Text, folio 13 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries. The image shows an open book with yellowed pages. The page on the left has a vertical strip of transparent tape along the left edge. The pages have brown stains and purple spots. The text is written in brown ink and appears to be in an ancient language, possibly Greek. The text is written in a flowing script, with some words or phrases underlined or highlighted. The book is bound in a dark material, possibly leather. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The book is open to a page with a large block of text. The text fills most of the page, with little to no empty space. The handwriting is cursive and ornate. The pages appear to be made of parchment or vellum. The book appears to be old and worn. The image is well-lit, with no harsh shadows.
