Printed in Milan, this copy of the playwright Plautus’ Comedies has the distinction of being the oldest book in the Blough-Weis Library. Can you guess the date this book was published?

These particular pages shown were of special interest to one of the original owners, who has written his own notes in both Latin and Greek in the margins.
