Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as "Ciceronis opera. notis varior. 9.v. 4to." and given by Thomas Jefferson to James Ogilvie, the tutor of Jefferson's grandson Thomas Jefferson Randolph. The precise edition owned by Wythe is unknown. The Brown Bibliography[1] lists the third edition (1758) based on the copy Jefferson sold to the Library of Congress.[2] George Wythe's Library[3] on LibraryThing lists the 1740-1742 edition as the "probable" edition and notes "No other edition of Cicero in nine volumes which matches the title has been located."

As yet, the Wolf Law Library has been unable to procure a copy of M. Tullii Ciceronis Opera cum Delectu Commentariorum.
