Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as Theocritus Gr. Lat. 4to. Foul. and given by Thomas Jefferson to his grandson Thomas Jefferson Randolph. Both George Wythe's Library[1] on LibraryThing and the Brown Bibliography[2] list the 1746 edition published by Foulis—this is the edition the Wolf Law Library purchased.

Small quarto bound in contemporary calf, rebacked to style, black calf label. Contains engraved armorial bookplate of the Bishop of Kilmore, dated 1774, with later owners' signatures dated 1842 and 1942. Purchased from Michael R. Thompson Books.
