Text, folio 41 (recto), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open book with yellowed pages and brown ink text. The book is open to a two-page spread. The pages are yellowed and worn, with darker spots and stains scattered throughout. The text on the pages appears to be written in an ancient language, possibly Greek, and is written in brown ink. The handwriting is cursive and flowing, with some letters and symbols appearing to be decorative. The text is arranged in a single column down the center of the page, with some lines of text indented slightly. The page on the right has a small pencil notation in the top-right corner. The background of the image is a dark gray color.
