Text, folio 51 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

A Gospel Book with Commentaries, folio 51 (verso), displays an aged, off-white page with dark brown writing. The book's cover is not visible; the visible page has darker brown edges and shows signs of wear, with darker brown spots scattered throughout. The text, written in a language that appears to be ancient Greek, features several large ornamental Greek letters near the top and middle of the page. The page appears slightly wrinkled and folded. A central fold runs down the middle of the page and five small stitching points are on the right side. The background behind the page is dark gray slate.
