I believe that Jérôme de Gourmont did some printing, although he is named only as a bookseller in the bibliographies. The books that I have mentioned show that he was a scholar who followed in the tracks of Gilles de Gourmont. Indeed, the one first described, which is in Latin, contains some Hebrew words; the second is entirely in Greek.
I have seen a little book, printed at Paris in 1539, with Jérôme de Gourmont's mark: it is 'Pugna porcorum per J. Porcium,' octavo. The subscript below the mark reads: 'Parisiis, apud Anthonium Bonnemere.' Was Anthoine Bonnemere publisher for Jérôme de Gourmont, at the same sign? That is something that I do not know.
GOURMONT (BENOÎT DE), bookseller at Paris.—One mark, representing a man standing above two precipices; above him is a scroll with the words: 'Vndiqve praecipitivm'; and at his feet the initials B. D. G. (Silvestre, no. 838).
GRANDIN (LOUIS), printer-bookseller at Paris, from 1542 to 1553.—Two marks (Silvestre, nos. 277 and 416). They represent two men, one of whom is receiving a sphere from the hand of God; the other holds one which is crumbling in his fingers. On the second of the two marks are the words: 'Confidere in Domino bonum esse quam confidere in homine. Ps. 117.'
GUEULLARD (JEAN), printer-bookseller at Paris, from 1552 to 1553.—Two marks representing the Phœnix rising from the flames,[473] in an oval border. The smaller one has, within the border, the words, 'Amor vitæ acer nimis,' with Gueullard's initials, I. G., below (Silvestre, no. 790). This mark is .055 of a millimetre high by .044 wide. I have seen it in a book entitled: 'Petri Ruffi Druydæ dialectica, nuper ab eodem autore emendatur,' quarto, 1553 (3d edition).[474] The larger one has this motto within the border: 'Mori vivere mihi est'; it is .087 of a millimetre high by .063 wide (Silvestre, no. 882). I have seen it in a book entitled, 'Hexastichorum moralium libri duo, per Nic. Querculum Tortronensem Rhemum; quarto, Paris, 1552.'[475] See HARSY (OLIVIER DE).
