OVIDIUS NASO, Publius.
Ovid’s Art of Love. In three Books. Together with his Remedy of Love. Translated into English by several eminent Hands. To which are added The Court of Love, A Tale, and The History of Love by Charles Hopkins.
This entry is marked missing in the contemporary working copy of the Library of Congress Catalogue of 1815, and is omitted from all later catalogues. It is in the manuscript list of missing books made at a later date. There is therefore no means of knowing which edition was in Jefferson’s library. The first edition was published in London by J. Tonson in 1709; the first duodecimo edition was printed in 1719 and was followed by a number of others in that format.
The several eminent hands were John Dryden, William Congreve and Nahum Tate. The Court of Love was by Arthur Maynwaring (1668-1712), auditor of the imprests.
Charles Hopkins, 1664?-1700?, first published his History of Love, dedicated to the Duchess of Grafton, in 1695.
