Text, folio 262 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open, aged book with yellowed pages. The book is bound on the left side, with a visible spine and pages that are slightly worn and torn. The text on the page is written in a language that appears to be ancient Greek. The text is written in a flowing script, with many curved lines and flourishes. The page shown is the verso, or back side, of a folio, marked as 262. The text is divided into sections with large decorative letters and accents. The background of the image is a dark gray color, which helps to highlight the details of the book.
