Text, folio 186 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open, aged book with yellowed pages. The book is open to a page with text written in gold ink. The text is written in a language that appears to be Greek. The page has a few dark brown spots and stains on it, and the edges of the pages are worn and torn. The book appears to be old and well-used. The pages are thick and have a rough texture. The background of the image is a dark gray color. The image is likely a photograph of an ancient or historical manuscript. The book's cover is not visible. The pages are turned down at the top right and bottom left corners. There are a few pieces of clear tape on the left side of the page. The overall appearance of the book suggests that it is a valuable and significant artifact.
