Moralia in Job manuscript leaf

Manuscript leaf with rotunda script from the early part of the high Middle Ages. The text is from a copy of the commentary on Job by Gregory the Great, who applied a threefold exegesis to the biblical text, including the literal sense, the tropoligical (or moral) sense and the allegorical sense. The text passage is from liber XXXIII,23 ""[Vultusque eius] non sunt amplius in diversa mutati, quia videlicet mens eius nequamquam post preces inepta laetitia lasciviendo perdidit, quod orationis suae tempore gemituum rigor exquisivit." to liber XXXIV,2-3 "vultus eius quis aperiet? Portae vultus eius sunt iniqui doctores, qui idcirco portae vultus eius vocati sunt, quia per ipsos quisque ingreditur, ut Le[viathan iste quasi in potestatis suae principatu videatur]". Only one side is inscribed. The parchment had been used as the endpaper for the binding of an incunable (Guido Bonatus, Decem tractatus astronomiae. Augsburg, Erhard Ratdolt, 26.III.1491; HC2461, GW4643).
