Jefferson apparently owned a copy of both the 1598 and the 1623 editions of Scapula’s Lexicon, which are entered by him in
his manuscript catalogue, as above. The 1623 Ebrodunum edition is entered also in his undated manuscript catalogue, with the price,
4.0. Only one of these was sold to Congress, and the evidence in the early
Library of Congress catalogues, as quoted above, is conflicting and
inconclusive.
There is not an entry for either of these editions in any catalogues issued after the fire of 1851, and there is not a copy
of either in the Library of Congress at the present time.
The 1815 Library of Congress catalogue gives evidence of having been dictated from the manuscript, and if this be the case,
the wrong edition could easily have been listed. It seems strange however that such an error should be repeated in the catalogue
of 1830.

Scapula see no. 4761.
