‘Verbum Sapienti’, by Sir William Petty
‘Verbum Sapienti’, by Sir William Petty
Sraffa MS/A/3 · Item · 1665?
Part of Manuscripts collected by Piero Sraffa

(‘In Petty's list of his own writings … the entry “Verbum Sapienti, and the value of People” stands opposite the year 1665, and the internal evidence makes it probable that the booklet was written in the latter part of that year.’ (The Economic Writings of Sir William Petty, ed. C. H. Hull (1899), vol. i.))
