Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Wythe ordered "- the Works of Theophilus in greek and latin, two volumes in quarto, published at the Hague in 1751, by Gul. Otto Reitz." from London merchant John Norton in a letter dated May 29, 1772. Records indicate the order was fulfilled.[1] All four of the Wythe Collection sources (Goodwin's pamphlet[2], Dean's Memo[3], Brown's Bibliography[4] and George Wythe's Library[5] on LibraryThing) list the 1751 edition of Theophilou Antikēnsōros ta Heuriskomena. The Wolf Law Library purchased a copy of the same edition.
