Text, folio 149 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

Yellowed parchment page with brown ink writing in a foreign language, likely Greek. The page is worn and aged, with visible signs of deterioration, including dark spots and discoloration. The text is written in a flowing script, with varying line lengths and some words or letters larger than others. A large decorative letter "T" is visible near the bottom left corner of the page. The page is bound on the left side, with the edge of the binding visible. The background of the image is a dark gray color, which helps to highlight the aged appearance of the parchment.
