Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as Strabo. Gr. Lat. fol. 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 without selecting a specific edition. The Brown Bibliography[2] lists the 1620 edition published in Paris based on the copy Jefferson sold to the Library of Congress.[3] The Wolf Law Library followed Brown's suggestion and purchased the Paris edition.
