The Laurentianus LXXXV 1, which is called the Ocean [Bandini III 237—247], is a paper bombycinus manuscript of the 14th century, of large format, written clearly and neatly. Folios 175r—202v contain Philoponus’ commentary on the Analytica Priora. It was inspected in some places by Torstrik and was collated by me from folio 199v to 201r, covering the passage "the others therefore — reverses only" (p. 432,25—454,24), the variants of which are noted under pages 433,8—452,31.
