Little seems to be known about the author of the
Itinerarium, which is a register of the stations and distances along the various roads of the Roman Empire. For an account of the various
editions of the portion relating to Britain, see Gough,
op cit. This edition of 1709 is the first one by Thomas Gale, 1635?-1702, dean of York, scholar and theologian. After his death the
work was edited by his son Roger, 1672-1744, antiquary, who, in the preface, distinguishes between his own and his father’s
contributions. Gale’s edition is reprinted in Leland’s
Itinerary

This book has not been satisfactorily identified. The 1831 Library of Congress catalogue has the same entry as the 1815 Catalogue,
with the number 656a. In the later catalogues this number is given to the
Atlas Geographus; or, A Complete System of Geography, Ancient and Modern, for Great Britain and Ireland
, 4to; London, without date, and the entry is not ascribed to the Jefferson collection.
Jefferson’s entry might refer to the first volume of a work by Thomas Cox (issued anonymously),
Magna Britannia et Hibernia, antiqua et nova; or a new Survey of Great Britain . . .
originally issued as a supplement to Europe in the
Atlas Geographus, and of which the running headline is
The Introduction; being / The Ancient State of Britain. The evidence is not conclusive.
