This entry appears in Jefferson’s dated catalogue, in the 1815 Library of Congress catalogue and all subsequent catalogues to that of 1849, inclusive, after which it is dropped.
It appears to be a “ghost”, as no edition by Cruser of the work of Cornelius Nepos is listed in the bibliographies, nor in
the biographies of Cruser.
The
Vitae of Cornelius Nepos are sometimes joined to Plutarch’s
Vitae Paralellorum
of which Cruser edited an edition, and which may account for Jefferson’s entry.
