==Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library==
Listed in the [[Jefferson Inventory]] of [[Wythe's Library]] as "Auli Gellii noctes Atticae. p.f." and given by [[Thomas Jefferson]] to his grandson [[Thomas Jefferson Randolph]]. The precise edition owned by Wythe is unknown. [http://www.librarything.com/profile/GeorgeWythe George Wythe's Library]<ref>''LibraryThing'', s. v. [http://www.librarything.com/profile/GeorgeWythe "Member: George Wythe"] accessed on February 28, 2014.</ref> on LibraryThing indicates this, adding "Probably a portion of the work only." The [https://digitalarchive.wm.edu/handle/10288/13433 Brown Bibliography]<ref> Bennie Brown, "The Library of George Wythe of Williamsburg and Richmond," (unpublished manuscript, May, 2012) Microsoft Word file. Earlier edition available at: https://digitalarchive.wm.edu/handle/10288/13433</ref> lists the quarto edition published in Leiden in 1706 based on the copy Jefferson sold to the Library of Congress.<ref>E. Millicent Sowerby, ''Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson'', 2nd ed. (Charlottesville: University Press of Virginia, 1983), 5:161 [no.4905].</ref> Brown also mentions a second Jefferson copy&mdash;one in duodecimo, published in Amsterdam in 1651&mdash;sold by his grandson, Francis Eppes in 1873. This copy better matches Jefferson's designation "p.f." in the Wythe inventory (by which he always meant a size smaller than octavo) than the quarto version sold to the Library of Congress. The Wolf Law Library purchased a copy of the 1651 Amsterdam edition.

==Description of the Wolf Law Library's copy==
Bound in quarter calf with marbled boards. Spines feature gilt bands and decoration and a black morocco label with gilt lettering.
