Jefferson purchased another edition of Achilles Tatius when in Paris, entered in his undated manuscript catalogue:
Achillis Tatii Clitophon et Leucippe. Gr. Lat. 8
vo. et Parthenici Erotica. price 2.8.
This edition is entered also in the dated manuscript catalogue, but was not sold to Congress.
Achilles Tatius, Greek novelist of Alexandria, wrote not later than circa 300 A.D.
Luigi Annibale della Croce, 1509-1577, Italian scholar, translated this work into Latin from a manuscript while ignorant of the author, and published
it at Lyons in 1544 with the title

It is not certain whether this work was delivered to Congress; it is marked
missing in the contemporary working copy of the 1815 Catalogue, and the entry is omitted from the later catalogues. This book is
included in the manuscript list of missing books made at a later date. It is impossible therefore to know which edition was
in Jefferson’s library. The first edition was published in London in 1723, in duodecimo. Editions in duodecimo were published
also in Florence, 1792, and Paris, 1800.
