Justiniani institutiones Vinnii. Elzev. 24 s.
1815 Catalogue, page 90. no. 44, Justiniani Institutiones Vinnii, to. [ sic -- Ed. ]
Jefferson’s copy of the Corpus juris civilis edited by Vinnius is no longer in the Library of Congress.
His manuscript catalogue calls for an edition in 24s; the 1815 catalogue entry is imperfect but apparently calls for a quarto edition. The later Library of Congress catalogues credit the Jefferson collection with the quarto edition printed in Leyden by P. Vander, 1709.
There is no entry on the undated manuscript catalogue.
