This book was one selected by Jefferson from a consignment sent by
Reibelt from Baltimore in January 1805, and included in the list of his selections sent to Reibelt on January 23. The price was
48 cents, and the book is included in the list of books with their prices made by Jefferson and included with his draft on the U. S. Bank, sent to Reibelt on March 7. The
entry appears on various lists made by Jefferson of his purchases from Reibelt. The copy was bound for Jefferson in calf,
gilt by John March in March 1805, price 75 cents.

Jefferson bought his copy from
Lackington, London, number 8368 in his catalogue, price
10/6 (entered at that price by Jefferson on his undated manuscript catalogue), ordered on October 2, 1788, from Paris, in a letter to John Trumbull, at that time in London. Jefferson invariably described the book as in three volumes, quarto, and it is
so entered in the 1815 Library of Congress Catalogue (with the annotation in ink,
bound in 1 vol.). The catalogue of 1831 credits the Jefferson library with a copy in 1 volume 4to. The entry for this book is omitted from
the later editions of the Library of Congress catalogues, in which the Jefferson collection is erroneously credited with the
Saggio d’Osservazioni sopra l’Isola di Cherso ed Osero,
p. 4to. Venezia, 1771 by the same author.
Abate Alberto Fortis, 1741-1803, has been described as
il primo Naturalista d’Italia, ed uno dei primi d’Europa. He travelled a great deal for scientific purposes, and visited Dalmatia in 1771 and 1774.
Antonio Verantio (
or
Veranxscis), 1504-1573, was born in Dalmatia. He became archbishop of Gran, and primate and viceroy of Hungary. He was the author of
a number of books, which were preserved in manuscript, and not published until some centuries after his death. This is the
first edition of his
Iter Buda Hadrianopolim, included by the abate Fortis in his
Viaggio in Dalmazia, and is included also in the translations of that work.
