Text, folio 192 (recto), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

Open book with yellowed pages, worn edges, and brown ink text. The page number "192" is handwritten in pencil at the top right corner. The text is written in an ancient language, likely Greek, in a flowing script. The book appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging such as discoloration, stains, and rough texture. The pages are turned down slightly at the corners, and the book is set against a dark gray background. Brown ink blotches and darker brown discoloration are around the top third of the page. A small oval-shaped darker stain is on the top center of the page.
