Text, folio 238 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

A page from an old book with yellowed, worn paper and darker edges, featuring handwritten text in a language that appears to be Greek. The page is open to folio 238, showing the verso side, with the text written in brown ink. There are visible signs of aging, including darker spots, discoloration, and a darker line along the left edge, suggesting the page was once bound. The text is arranged in paragraphs with some formatting, and there are decorative elements such as a large capital letter at the beginning of a section. The page has a few creases and appears to be part of a larger manuscript or codex.
