Decorated Incipit Page; Gospel Book, about 1120-1140. Additional Info:With ornate letters framed by a geometrically patterned border, this page marks the beginning of Mark's Gospel: Initiu[m] evangelii Ih[es]u p[ist]i filii d[e]i sicut scriptu[m] est in Esaia propheta (The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, as it was written in Isaiah the prophet...). A portrait of the evangelist Mark on the preceding page faces this richly decorated text page.
