Text, folio 285 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

An open book with yellowed pages lies on a gray surface. The book's pages are filled with handwritten text in brown ink. The text is written in a language that uses the Greek alphabet. The handwriting is cursive and dense, with many lines of text covering the page. The book's cover is not visible, but the pages appear to be bound together with thread or glue. The pages have a worn and aged appearance, with visible signs of wear and tear, including discoloration, staining, and slight brittleness. A transparent tape strip runs along the left edge.
