Text, folio 131 (recto), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

Open book with yellowed pages. A number "131" is handwritten in pencil in the top right corner of the right page. The right page has brown text written in an ancient language, likely Greek, and appears to be a Gospel Book with Commentaries. The text is arranged in two columns. The left column contains a narrow column of text running vertically along the left edge. A line of text and a cross are centered at the top of the page, between two horizontal lines. The left page is partially visible, with a dark mark and stitching at the top. The book appears to be old and worn, with darkened areas and stains on the pages. The background behind the book is dark grey.
