Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as "Novum testamentum. Gr. 12mo. Lond. 1743. Bower" This was one of the titles kept by Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson may have sold it the Library of Congress in 1815. Both George Wythe's Library[1] on LibraryThing and the Brown Bibliography[2] list the 1743 edition published in London based on the Jefferson copy at the Library of Congress.[3] While the copy still exists, both George Wythe's Library[4] on LibraryThing and the Brown Bibliography[5] note the copy was rebound for Jefferson with his shelfmark. As such, any possible ties to Wythe would have been removed. As of yet, the Wolf Law Library has been unable to procure a copy of Kainē Diathēkē.
