Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Thomas Jefferson listed "Psalterion. Gr. Lat. 12mo." in his inventory of Wythe's Library, noting that he kept the set himself. He later sold a copy to the Library of Congress in 1815. Unfortunately, the volume no longer exists to verify Wythe's prior ownership or the exact edition.[1] Both Brown's Bibliography[2] and George Wythe's Library[3] on LibraryThing base their inclusion of the 1678 edition published in Oxford on Millicent Sowerby's entry in Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson.[4] The Wolf Law Library has been unable to find a copy of this edition of this title.
