This edition was printed by Andrew Foulis, the son of Robert Foulis, whose partnership with his brother Andrew had been terminated
by the death of the latter in 1775. Robert himself lived only one year, and the business was carried on by his son Andrew.

Sm. 8vo. 3 parts in 1, with separate pagination and signatures, separate title for the second part, 290, 120 and 68 leaves,
printer’s device on each title and at the end of each part, text printed in italic letter. A copy of this book was not available
for examination. The above information was obtained from a photostat of the first title, and from the description on the card
of the copy in the University of Illinois in the National Union Catalog.
It seems probable that Jefferson separated the three parts of this book to make two volumes. The first part, which contains
the Scholia on the Iliad was included by him with the Foulis edition of the Iliad (no. 4267 above). The second part, containing
the Scholia on the Odyssey, has a separate title-page, as has been noted, and is the only part called for in the Library of
Congress catalogues of 1831 and later:
Scholia in Homeri Odysseam. The entry in the contemporary working copy of the catalogue of 1815, quoted above, has the manuscript annotation
