Text, folio 166 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a yellowed, aged book with a page open to reveal handwritten text. The book is positioned on a dark gray surface. The page displays brown ink writing in a language that appears to be ancient Greek. The text is written in a flowing script and covers most of the page, with some blank space around the edges. The book's cover is not visible, but the pages are thick and yellowed with age, with darker spots scattered throughout. The text on the page appears to be from a religious text, given the context provided. The overall appearance of the book suggests it is an old, possibly antique, volume. Folio 166 (verso) is shown, with text written in brown ink on yellowed parchment.
