Text, folio 92 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

Folio 92, verso side, of a Gothic-style, medieval manuscript book. The page has yellowed parchment and is filled with written text in dark brown ink. The text is written in a single column and appears to be in an ancient language, likely Latin or Greek. The text lines are not straight but rather follow a wavy pattern. There are visible signs of aging, including dark spots, stains, and discoloration. The edges of the page are worn and rough. A sewing pattern is visible along the left edge of the page. The background behind the page is a dark gray color. The image shows the book lying open on a surface.
