Text, folio 227 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open book with yellowed pages and handwritten text. The book's cover is not visible; only the left edge of the book's spine shows. The book is open to a page with a white, aged paper background. The page displays a heading at the top written in black ink; below it are approximately 30 lines of script written in brown ink; the script is in a language that appears to be Greek. The lettering in the heading and throughout the page is mainly in lowercase; the text includes two large capital letters. The capital letters are T and K; T is located on the left side and K on the lower third of the page. The page has visible signs of aging: dark spots, wrinkles, and discoloration around the edges. The book appears to be old and well-worn. The background behind the book is gray. The image presents the book at an angle.
