Video Orientation to the University of Pennsylvania Library's LJS 385, a collection of classical Latin school texts in various hands. The most substantial works are Book 1 of Cicero's De officiis (f. 4r-45r) and Terence's comedies Andria (f. 49r-73r) and Eunuchus (f. 73r-99v), preceded by notes on comedy and tragedy (f. 48v). Briefer passages include the openings of Boethius's De consolatione philosophiae (f. 1r-3r) and Virgil's Aeneid (f. 101r-101v) preceded by biographical notes about Virgil (f. 100v). Also includes recipes for remedies (f. 45v-47r) and didactic or humorous verses (f. 102r-102v). Frequent marginal and interlinear notes in the beginning of the Cicero (f. 4r-20r) and in the Terence.
