Text, folio 45 (recto), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open book with yellowed pages. The book is open to a page with text written in brown ink. The text is written in a language that appears to be Greek, and it is written in a script that is likely from the medieval period. The text is arranged in a single column down the center of the page, with some notes and annotations in the margins. The page has some stains and discoloration, particularly around the edges and in the upper right corner. The page number "45" is written in pencil in the upper right corner. The book is lying on a dark surface, possibly a table or desk. The left page has some text visible, but it is not legible. The right page is the main focus of the image. The book appears to be an old manuscript.
