This edition is the only
Dalechampii edition published in Francfort in 1608 and is in one thick octavo volume. Jefferson’s manuscript catalogue calls for 6.v. 8vo. The undated manuscript catalogue has the same entry, with 6.v. inserted above the line, with a caret, and the two prices
6 + 12. This may mean that Jefferson conflated two editions.
Caius Plinius Secundus (Pliny the Elder), c. A.D. 23-79, Roman polymath, of whom the
Historia Naturalis
is the only extant work.
