Text, folio 279 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

An open book with yellowed pages displays handwritten text in a language that appears to be Greek. The pages exhibit signs of aging, including brown spots, darker edges, and a tear on the left side. A translucent tape is affixed to the left edge, securing the pages. The text on the right page is written primarily in brown ink, with some sections in darker brown. The book's background is dark grey, suggesting a table or other flat surface.
