Text, folio 249 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a Gospel Book with Commentaries, folio 249 (verso). The book's pages are off-white and yellowed with age, with darker areas indicating wear and tear. There are brown spots and stains scattered across the page. The text on the page is written in a language that appears to be Greek, in a dark brown ink. The handwriting is in a formal, cursive script, and the text is arranged in a single column. The page has a worn and aged appearance, with visible signs of use and handling. The edges of the page are rough and uneven, indicating that it may have been trimmed or cut down at some point. The book appears to be bound with a strip of clear tape down the left side.
