The Sacrifice of Life

The manuscript page is severely damaged. The ink is heavily faded throughout, with significant water staining and discoloration. The text is written in Syriac Serto script, but the majority of the upper two-thirds of the page is illegible. It has the appearance of a palimpsest—a manuscript where earlier writing was removed to make room for new text—or a page where ink has heavily bled through from the opposite side.

"That there is no one who eats of the body of the Son of Man
or drinks of His blood who shall [not] live in his soul. And everyone who eats
of Him shall not die forever." A paraphrase of the "Bread of Life" discourse in John 6:53-58, central to the theology of the Eucharist.

The lower section of the manuscript page contains faint, cursive annotations in a Western hand—possibly Latin or Italian—that likely record the history of the book's ownership or library cataloging details, but the ink has faded beyond legibility in this reproduction.
