Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as Appianus. variorum. 2.v. 8vo. and given by Thomas Jefferson to his grandson Thomas Jefferson Randolph. The Brown Bibliography[1] lists the 1670 edition published in Amsterdam based on copies owned by Jefferson (he sold one of these to the Library of Congress[2]; his grandson, Francis Eppes sold the other in 1873). George Wythe's Library[3] on LibraryThing indicates "Precise edition unknown." The Wolf Law Library followed Brown's recommendation and purchased the 1670 edition published in Amsterdam.
