Text, folio 123 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

Text, folio 123 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries by an unknown artist. The image shows an open, aged book with yellowed pages. The book's cover is not visible. The pages are turned down at the top right and bottom left corners. The text on the pages appears to be written in gold ink and consists of many lines of small, cursive script in a language that appears to be Greek. The handwriting is uniform in size and style throughout the text. The book appears to be old, with visible signs of wear, including discoloration, stains, and slight tears on the edges of the pages. A small hole is present on the left side of the page. The background behind the book is gray.
