Text, folio 425 (recto), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

Yellowed, aged, parchment-style paper with darker spots and stains primarily on the right and bottom edges; some spots are purple. The paper is torn in places, with a large tear on the right side. The text is written in gold ink and appears to be in an ancient language, likely Greek. The text is arranged in columns, with two columns visible. The background behind the paper is dark gray. The image displays a book with a worn and aged appearance.
