The Four Gospels with the Commentary of Theophylact of Ohrid

A full-page illumination depicts Saint Luke the Evangelist. The saint is seated on a wooden bench, leaning over a codex that rests on his knees, poised to write with a stylus or pen. He is depicted as a middle-aged man with a beard and a halo, dressed in a brown tunic and a blue cloak.

The figure is framed by a stylized architectural structure consisting of four columns with ornate capitals supporting a gabled roof. Behind him, architectural details suggesting a building with arched windows are visible. To the right of the saint stands a small writing desk equipped with inkwells and a small bottle.

The entire scene is enclosed within three decorative borders:
1. An innermost border featuring a red and gold geometric "key" or "crenellated" pattern.
2. A middle border of gold with intricate scrolling floral and foliate motifs.
3. An outer border of blue stylized leaves or palmettes.

Saint Luke

The inscription identifying the saint is split on either side of his halo.

Text within the open codex held by the saint is illegible.?
