Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as Pindar. 3.v. p.f. Foul. Gr. and given by Thomas Jefferson to his grandson Thomas Jefferson Randolph. The Foulis Press published a four-volume, Greek, trigesimo-segundo (32mo) edition of Pindar between 1754 and 1758. It is the only Greek edition they published. Both George Wythe's Library on LibraryThing and the Brown Bibliography include this edition and note a copy of volume two at the University of Virginia with the inscription "T. J. Randolph" inside the front board which may be Wythe's actual copy (there are no Wythe markings). The Wolf Law Library purchased the 1746 edition.
