Text, folio 369 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

Old book with yellowed pages and brown text written in a non-Latin script. Pages are slightly worn and have a parchment-like texture. A translucent tape strip runs along the left edge. Most of the book lies flat, but the left edge rises. A dark-colored surface shows in the background. The pages contain 2 columns of text. A large ornamental letter "A" appears in the upper column. A large ornamental letter "O" appears in the lower column. The text in both columns is smaller than the ornamental letters. The book appears old and possibly hand-written. The text seems to be in Greek based on the script. The book's cover is not visible. The image shows the book open to a single spread with text on one side.
