Volume IV : page 509
8vo. 383 leaves; a copy was not seen, the above title was taken from a card in the National Union Catalog and a later edition in the Library of Congress.
This edition not in Graesse and not in Ebert.
This edition not in Lowndes.
This is the edition assigned to the Jefferson collection in the early Library of Congress catalogues which distinguish the books from Jefferson’s library, but there is no suggestion of a defective copy. Horace Delphini 8vo 1/- is entered by Jefferson in his undated manuscript catalogue, with no mention of any defect. Jefferson’s dated catalogue, as above, is the only one that calls for a defective copy.
The first Delphin edition by Louis Desprez was published in Paris in 1691 and the first London Delphin edition in 1699. For a note on the Delphin editions, see no. 52.
For André Dacier, see no. 4475.

In the absence of further information it is not possible to know which edition was in Jefferson’s library. The title-page must have been lost after the book was delivered to Congress.

It is not certain that this book was delivered to Congress in 1815. It is marked missing in the contemporary working copy of the Library of Congress 1815 catalogue, and is omitted from all subsequent catalogues. The book is entered in the manuscript list of missing books made at a later date.
For other works edited by Isaac Casaubon, see the Index.
Heinrich Christian Von Hennin, c. 1655-1703, German scholar.
