Text, folio 136 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an aged book titled "Text, folio 136 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries" opened to a page with handwritten text. The book's pages are yellowed and worn, with visible signs of aging such as dark spots, discoloration, and a darker border around the edges. The text is written in a language that appears to be Greek, in brown ink, with some words or phrases underlined or marked with a small cross. The handwriting is cursive and flowing, with many abbreviations and flourishes. The text is densely packed, covering most of the page, with some blank space at the top and bottom. The book appears to be lying flat on a dark surface, with a subtle shadow visible underneath.
