Text, folio 334 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

An open book with yellowed pages displays a dense block of text written in brown ink. The text appears to be handwritten, featuring small letters and occasional larger decorative letters. The paper shows signs of aging, with darker edges and scattered darker spots throughout. A transparent strip of tape runs vertically along the left side of the book, which is bound on the left edge. The book rests on a dark gray surface, with a lighter gray area visible to the right. The overall appearance suggests an ancient or medieval manuscript.
