Entered without price by Jefferson in his undated manuscript catalogue.
From his manuscript catalogue and the Library of Congress 1815 Catalogue, Jefferson’s copy of this work would seem to have been bound in 3 volumes. On March 19, 1789, he bought from Froullé in Paris a copy “2 vol. 4 to rel. en un,” price 30. The book is entered by Jefferson in his undated manuscript catalogue, described as “3. v. 4to.” and is listed without any price.
Jacques Philippe D’Orville, 1696-1751, French scholar, came under the notice of Hemsterhuys at Amsterdam in 1704, and took up the study of law at Leyden. His edition of Chariton is the first edition of this Greek novel, and is unfortunately founded on a bad copy of the manuscript.
Johann Jacob Reiske, 1716-1774, German scholar, left for Leyden in 1738, and supported himself by helping D’Orville in his edition of Chariton, for which he made the translation into Latin.

Entered by Jefferson in his undated manuscript catalogue without the price of the volume, but with a space and the notation +2, probably indicating the price of the binding.
Longus, who probably lived in the third century A.D., was a native of Lesbos. His Ποιμενικ(`α) τ(`α) κατ(`α) Δαφνιν και Χλόην was first published in Florence in 1598.
Lorenzo Gambara, 1506-1596, Italian poet and scholar.
