Jefferson ordered a copy (broché) from
Armand Koenig of Strassburg in a letter dated from Paris, June 29, 1788. Koenig sent the books (described as being in 9 volumes 8vo) on July 24.
The entry in the undated manuscript catalogue reads the same as that in the dated, quoted above, with the price,
36 plus 12.
François Philippe Brunck¸1729-1803, was born in Strassburg and educated by the Jesuits in Paris. After the conclusion of the Seven Years’ War he returned
to Germany, and devoted himself to classical studies in Strassburg. This edition of 1783 is his
first of Aristophanes. The Latin translation is usually considered to form volumes IV, V and VI of Brunck’s edition. Some few copies
were issued with the date 1783, and it is possible that Jefferson had one of these as he refers to that date only in his catalogues.
