Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as [Vi?]nnii institutiones. 4to. and given by Thomas Jefferson to James Dinsmore. Brown's Bibliography[1] suggests the 1726 Leiden edition of Arnoldi Vinii J.C. In Quatuor Libros Institutionum Imperialium: Commentrius Academicus & Forensis. George Wythe's Library[2] on LibraryThing lists the title, D. Justiniani, Sacratissimi Principis, Institutionum, sive, Elementorum, Libri Quatuor, and notes "Precise edition unknown. Vinnius' edition of this work was published multiple times with similar titles." The Wolf Law Library owns copies of both titles mentioned by Brown and LibraryThing, but the library's copy of D. Justiniani, Sacratissimi Principis, Institutionum, sive, Elementorum, Libri Quatuor, published in Amsterdam in 1669, is a two-volume duodecimo, therefore it was not added to the George Wythe Collection. The library also owns a copy of the quarto 1726 publication Arnoldi Vinnii JC. in Quatuor Libros Institutionum Imperialium: Commentarius Academicus & Forensis which was moved from the general rare books collection to the George Wythe Collection.
