Text, folio 189 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

An open book with yellowed pages and brown writing, likely in an ancient language. The book is open to a page with two columns of text. The text is written in a script that appears to be Greek. The pages are yellowed and worn, with visible signs of aging, including darker edges and scattered darker spots. The book appears to be old and possibly handmade, with visible stitching down the center. The background behind the book is gray. The image shows the verso side of folio 189. The book contains a Gospel with commentaries.
