Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as "'Clarke’s Concordance. 12mo." This was one of the titles kept by Thomas Jefferson and later sold to the Library of Congress in 1815. All of the Wythe Collection sources (Goodwin's Study[1], Dean's Memo[2], Brown's Bibliography[3] and George Wythe's Library[4] on LibraryThing) list the 1696 edition as the probable one owned by Wythe. The copy owned by the Library of Congress was rebound for Jefferson with his shelfmark and contains writings that Sowerby notes may be attributable to Wythe. As of yet, the Wolf Law Library has been unable to procure a copy of Brief Concordance to the Holy Bible.
