Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as Caesar Delphini. 8vo. and given by Thomas Jefferson to his grandson Thomas Jefferson Randolph. The precise edition owned by Wythe is unknown. George Wythe's Library[1] on LibraryThing indicates this adding "Several octavo editions were published, the first in 1693." The Brown Bibliography[2] lists the London 3rd edition published in 1719 based on the copy Jefferson sold to the Library of Congress.[3] The Wolf Law Library followed Brown's suggestion and purchased the third edition edited by Joannes Godvinus.
