This book is a Latin to German thesaurus which was compiled by Basilius Faber. Faber, a Lutheran schoolmaster and theologian, was born in Żary (German: Sorau), in lower Lusatia, in 1520.[1] In 1538 he entered the University of Wittenberg, studying as pauper gratis under Philipp Melanchthon. [2] This is Faber's best known work due to its widespread work in schooling.[3]

Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as "Basilii Fabri thesaurus eruditionis Scholasticae. fol." This was one of the titles kept by Thomas Jefferson and later sold to the Library of Congress in 1815. Both the Brown Bibliography[4] and George Wythe's Library[5] on LibraryThing include the 1710 edition published in Leipzig based on Millicent Sowerby's entry in Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson.[6] Unfortunately, the volume owned by Wythe no longer exists to verify the edition. The Wolf Law Library has yet to purchase a copy.
