Text, folio 233 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

Off-white, yellowed, aged vellum or parchment page from a book. The page is turned to a spread's right side. The text is handwritten in an old, stylized script and appears to be in Greek. Writing fills most of the available space almost to the edges. A line of writing near the top is larger than on the rest of the page. A piece of clear tape holds a tear on the left edge. Small dark brown stains appear on the right edge. A horizontal dark line runs along the bottom edge. Light reflects off the parchment around the center. The background is dark gray.
