These books were bought by Jefferson in one set, and are so listed by him in his undated manuscript catalogue, bracketed together with the price,
80. In this listing only the
Galatea and the
Viage al Parnaso have the date, 1784. This is correct, and the dated manuscript wrong;
Trabajos de Persiles was published in 1781 and
Novelas Exemplares in 1783, and are so dated in the later Library of Congress
catalogues. These books are the first entry in Chapter III, Collected Works, in
the Cervantes bibliography prepared by Ford and Lansing (page 98): Obras de
Cervantes, 1781-84. 7 vol.
Persiles, 1781. 2 vol. Novelas exemplares, 1783. 2 vol. Galatea, 1784. 2 vol. Viage al Parnaso, La Numancia, El Trato de Argel,
1784. 1 vol.
Each work has also a separate listing in this bibliography.
