Text, folio 121 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

Yellowed parchment page from an old book, likely a manuscript. The page is filled with handwritten text in a language that appears to be Greek, written in brown ink. The text is arranged in a single column, with some words or phrases underlined or highlighted. The handwriting is cursive and ornate. The page has a rough, aged appearance, with visible signs of wear and tear, including stains, discoloration, and rough edges. The book's cover is not visible, but the pages appear to be bound together with a thin strip of leather or thread. The background of the image is a plain gray surface, providing a neutral backdrop for the aged manuscript.
