Text, folio 229 (recto), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

Old, open book with yellowed pages. The page shown is labeled "229" in the top right corner. The text is written in gold ink and appears to be in Greek. The handwriting is cursive and ornate. There are several purple stains on the page, particularly on the left side and top right. The book is lying on a dark gray surface. The pages are worn and have a rough texture, with visible signs of aging. The book's cover is not visible. The text is arranged in paragraphs with some letters larger than others. Some areas of the text are underlined or have marks next to them.
