a bishop’s mitre between the initials B and V in gilt on the front cover. Not initialled by Jefferson. Sig. (g)

Sylvester Syropoulos [Sguropolus], c. 1401-c. 1464. His History of the Council of Florence is of great value as a source book as he himself was a participant in the events he describes. In 1642 the work was copied
from a codex in the Bibliotheca regia and sent to Isaak Vossius for publication. Vossius later entrusted it to Robert Creighton,
chaplain of the Court of Charles II in exile and Bishop of Bath and Wells, who published the Greek text with a Latin translation.
This edition is incomplete as the whole of the first book was missing in the Paris codex.
