There is no indication that this book was imperfect in Jefferson’s manuscript catalogue, or in the Library of Congress printed catalogues of 1815 and 1831. None of these supplies the imprint and date, so that,
without the title-page it is impossible to know which translation was in Jefferson’s library.

This book is marked
missing in the contemporary working copy of the Library of Congress catalogue of 1815, is entered in the manuscript list of missing
books made at a later date, and the entry is omitted from the later catalogues. It is to be noted that other books in this
catalogue, printed by Foulis, with the Le Clerc plates, are marked missing, and it is possible that these books were not delivered
to Congress.
Torquato Tasso, 1544-1595, Italian poet, first published
Aminta in 1581. This edition by Foulis is reprinted from the edition with the plates of Sébastien Le Clerc printed by the Elzevirs
for Thomas Jolly in Paris in 1678.
