Text, folio 120 (recto), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

Recto page from a book, likely hand-written. The page has a light-colored parchment or vellum background with darker edges. The right side of the page displays a darker stain near the center. The top-right corner shows the handwritten number "120". The text on the page appears to be written in gold ink and is in an ancient language, possibly Greek. It consists of several paragraphs. The handwriting is in a flowing script with some letters larger than others. A metal pin or rivet is visibly holding the pages together near the left margin. The left edge of the page shows signs of wear, with a darker area. A small piece of parchment appears to be folded over. The background behind the page is dark grey.
