Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as [H]arris’s Justinian. 4to. and given by Thomas Jefferson to James Dinsmore. Brown's Bibliography[1] suggests either the 1st edition (1756) or the 2nd edition (1761) while noting that Jefferson sold a copy of the latter to the Library of Congress.[2] George Wythe's Library[3] on LibraryThing notes "Precise edition unknown. Editions with similar imprints were published at London in 1756 and 1761" while also mentioning Jefferson's copy at the Library of Congress.
