BEAUHARNAIS DE LA GRILLAIRE, Francois de (1601-1681). Catalogus Bibliothecae Belharnosianae, quae venales prostat in aedibus Belharnosianis. Orléans: Jean Boyer, 1683.

4o (217 x 165 mm). Small engraved Beauharnais arms on title, a full-page version on verso of the title ("Roger sculp.") and a third version, supported by two mermaids, as headpiece on p. 1, woodcut ornamental headpieces throughout. Contemporary calf (worn, upper cover detached). Provenance: Louis Thompson Rowe, Hammersmith (bookplate).

François de Beauharnais owned this library jointly with a relative, a doctor of the Sorbonne. According to a contemporary manuscript note cited by Blogie, the library was sold in Paris in the year after the catalogue appeared: "Cette bibliotheque a été vendue en detail, a Paris, en 1684" (Blogie II, col. 1); North 7.
