About this work

This page is covered in neat, black handwritten letters with red accents. The script is packed tightly, filling almost every inch of the light brown paper. Three red circular stamps sit along the bottom edge, and a thin red line runs vertically down the center. The red accents highlight certain words, making them stand out. This kind of marking was often used in ancient texts to emphasize important parts. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more examples of this kind of handwritten text.
