Bound for Jefferson in calf, gilt ornaments on the back, marbled end papers, blue silk bookmark, by John March; many leaves
cut close, some leaves damp stained. With the Library of Congress 1815 bookplate.
A title has been supplied in manuscript:
Vita del S. Giosafat convertito da Barlaam, ristampata, e di varie figure adornata. Messina, Bisagni, 1678. A later hand has added a note:
The word “Incomincia” with which the book begins, the rudeness of the numerals, of the plates, and of the type lead me to
believe that this copy cannot be of the edition of 1678. Perhaps it may belong to that of 1539 printed at Venice, by Bindoni,
in octavo, This edition bore the title, La vita di san Giosaphat convertito par Barlaam
.
Jefferson’s edition is a 16mo, and could not be therefore either that of 1678 or of 1539, both of which were in 8vo. According
to Kuhn an edition in 16mo was published by Georgio Antonio Remondini at Venice and Bassano about 1600, reprinted in a second
edition without date, and a third at Modena in 1768. This is possibly the first of these three editions.
March’s binding bill was presented on October 11, 1802, cost 0.62½.
Johannes Damascenus, d. before 754, a theologian of the Eastern Church.
