Grolier binding. Rich, ornate book bindings are called Gro- lier bindings, after Jean Grolier, vicomte d’Aguisy (1479–1565), who was not a bookbinder or printer but a prominent French bibliophile. Grolier collected books and had them bound by the best artisans of his day, each book bearing the inscription Groliere et Amicorum. All the books in his library, sold in 1675, are world-famous collector’s items. The Grolier Club, which has published many books and catalogs of its exhibi- tions, was founded in New York City (1884) “for the study and promotion of the arts pertaining to the production of books.” |
