Text, folio 71 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

Folio 71 (verso) from a Gospel Book with Commentaries. A yellowed parchment page with brown ink writing in an ancient Greek manuscript, featuring written text on the right side in a single column. The page is open to reveal the verso side with the text occupying most of the page. A thin vertical line runs along the right edge and there are signs of wear including discoloration and a dark stain on the top right and bottom. A small metal pin holds the pages together near the left margin. Grid lines are faintly visible on the parchment. The background is gray with the book casting a shadow on the surface.
