Greek Grammar

This page is a blank flyleaf.

flyleaf: A blank page found at the very beginning or end of a book. These pages were not intended for writing but served as a "buffer" to protect the expensive hand-written text from the moisture, glue, and pressure of the heavy leather or wooden binding.

In codicology (the study of books as physical objects), blank pages like this one are vital. They allow researchers to see the original material—be it parchment or paper—without the interference of ink, helping to identify where the paper was made or how the animal skin was prepared.
