Text, folio 241 (recto), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an aged book opened to a page with Greek writing. Light brown parchment or vellum, the book's pages show signs of aging; dark spots and discoloration are visible. The book lies flat on a dark surface; a white border is on either side. The page number 241 is written in pencil in the upper right corner. The text on the page is written in gold ink; there are some notes and annotations throughout. The handwriting appears to be medieval. A large letter "Π" is on the right side. The image does not show the cover or binding.
