Jean Grolier

Jean Grolier (1479-1565), full name Jean Grolier de Servières, Vicomte d'aquisy, was a famous French bibliophile. His library was dispersed in 1675. The bindings of the books being ornamented with geometric patterns, have given name to bindings in this style. They bore the inscription, "Io. Grolieri et Amicorum" (the property of Jean Grolier and his friends).
