Cleveland Museum of Art

Text, folio 139 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries by an unknown artist. The image shows an open book with yellowed pages. The page shown is on the right. The text on the page is written in brown ink and appears to be in an ancient language, possibly Greek. The handwriting is in a formal, cursive script. The text is arranged in paragraphs with no images or illustrations. The page has a rough, worn appearance with visible signs of aging, including darker spots and stains. The edges of the page are rough and uneven. The left edge of the page has a series of small holes, possibly from binding. The background behind the book is dark gray.
