  1. Maître de Luçon: Terence, collection of comedies known under the name of Térence des ducs

    fol. 51 sup v : The Eunuch (Eunouchus) (act 2, scene 1): Phaedria asks Parmeno to send Dorus the Eunuch and an Ethiopian maidservant to Thais.

    France (1412)

    Illuminated Manuscript, 337 x 240 mm.

    Paris, Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal.

    This is a Medieval document of a Greek play from a cycle of comedies. This part is called The Eunuch. I don’t read Latin, and if you don’t either, here’s an English translation of the whole thing.
