Text, folio 232 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a yellowed, open book with yellowed pages. The pages are worn and have brown spots and discoloration around the edges. The book appears to be old and possibly handmade. The text on the page appears to be written in an ancient language, possibly Greek. It is written in a flowing script and covers most of the page. The book is open to a page with a heading or title at the top, and the rest of the page is filled with text. The text is written in a single column down the center of the page. The background of the image is a dark gray color, which helps to highlight the details of the book. A strip of clear tape runs vertically along the left side of the book.
