Collection of Richard Weber, Leaf from Otto Ege MS 61: Recto, top. Photograph by Richard Weber.<\/p><\/div>\n

A leaf in the Collection of Richard Weber from Otto Ege MS 61<\/strong> presents part of the Gospel of Mark, by laying out the text in brown ink in two columns and employing embellishments in red, blue, and purple pigments. The polychrome elements comprise the running title in both upper margins of recto and verso, the inset 1-line chapter numeral (VI for Mark 6:1) on the recto, the corresponding 2-line inset chapter initial E<\/em> for Et<\/em>, and its extended vertical bar of J-shaped segments rising above and below its rounded letter to edge the full length of the column finished by pen-flourishing in upper, lower, and inner margins.<\/p>\n

Continuing our series of blogposts on leaves from that manuscript, found in a variety of locations, we present images and a description of this leaf, set into context. We thank our Associate, Richard, for the images and permission to study and reproduce them.<\/p>\n
