A family of bibliophiles: the Daffis
Guillaume Daffis was born in 1539 at Toulouse, the elder of two sons of Jean Daffis (d. 1581) and Catherine de Tournoer. The Daffis had emerged a century before from the merchant class of Toulouse to hold municipal office (Capitoul, 1442). Guillaume’s grandfather, Pierre (d. 1538) was professor of law and regent of the University of Toulouse; his father studied law at Padua (1530-1533), succeeded Pierre as Docteur régent de l’Université de Toulouse, became Avocat général au Parlement de Toulouse, and was three times Président au Parlement de Toulouse (1556, 1563, 1581).2 On a visit to Toulouse in 1565, Charles IX conferred upon Jean the title of chevalier.3
Nothing is yet known of Guillaume’s education, however he is said to have been an excellent Hebraist, fluent in Latin and Greek,4 and it seems certain that he studied law. Guillaume was appointed Conseiller au Parlement de Toulouse (1568), Président aux Requetés (1575), and Avocat général au Parlement de Toulouse and Premier président du Parlement de Bordeaux (1586).5 Guillaume’s younger brother, Jean (1554-1614), was likewise educated in the law, but embarked instead on a career in the church, becoming coadjutor bishop of Lombez, Vicaire général de Toulouse, then bishop of Lombez (1597-1614).6 All members of the family were strongly anti-Huguenot and protectors of the Jesuits and other Counter-Reformation Orders. Guillaume’s second son, Bernard (1586-1627), was educated by the Jesuits in Toulouse, studied law at the university there and also at Bordeaux, became commendatory abbot of Casedieu (Gers) and of two other priories, was ordained, and in 1614 succeeded his uncle as bishop of Lombez.7
The fate of Guillaume’s library is unknown. His elder son and heir, Jean (1579-1637), Président au Parlement de Navarre (1620), Président en la Cour de parlement de Bordeaux (1628) and Conseiller du Roi, married secondly Anne de Massiot, and upon her death an inventory was taken at their residence in the Rue de la Porte-Dijeaux, Bordeaux.8 The notary recorded opulent textiles (including Flemish tapestries) and quantities of silver, but few books, and it is doubtful that Jean had retained his father’s library. From inscriptions in surviving volumes we suppose that the books collected by Guillaume and his brother Bishop Jean were bestowed by them upon religious houses.
Three bindings adorned by the family arms D’argent à la bande de gueules, chargée d’une rose d’argent entre deux molettes d’or are known, and from the absence of ecclesiastical insignia we suppose that they were commissioned by Guillaume (see List below, Type I 1-3). Covering books published during the decade 1559-1569, the three bindings are decorated in the style known as “à la fanfare”. The characteristics of a binding à la fanfare were defined by G.D. Hobson: the whole surface of the covers is decorated by a symmetrical pattern of variously shaped compartments, each outlined by a double line on one side and a single line on the other, with a large oval central compartment (here left empty). The earliest bindings in this new style, produced from the mid-1560s until about 1573, were classified by Hobson “de type primatif,” because they are without foliage, or the foliage is not naturalistic; later examples “proprement dite.” Hobson identified thirty-two examples of the former, among them the 1559 Hegesippus graced by the Daffis arms (I-3).9 The Hegesippus has subsequently been credited to a Parisian shop producing bindings for the most discerning collectors of the day, among them Grolier, Mahieu, De Thou, Malenfant, and Charles IX.10
A slightly different version of the Daffis arms was associated with Guillaume Daffis by Joannis Guigard, who provided a drawing of the blazon (taken from an unidentified binding, “Communication de M. Martin, libraire”) in his comprehensive handbook. Here, the shield is wrapped by a wreath of laurel.11 It is noteworthy that both Bishop Jean and Bishop Bernard presented the family’s arms half-circled in a wreath of laurel, with mitre and crozier crests.12
Another three books decorated “à la fanfare”, but “proprement dites”, have the same presentation inscription lettered on their covers, from Bishop Jean Daffis to the recently founded Jesuit college at Toulouse, dated 1601: dedit. r. d. i. daffis epi. lumbariensis in colle. soc. iesu tolos. an. do. 1601 (see List below, Type II 1-3). In his discussion of one of these bindings (II-2), André Masson mentions two others, “presque identiques” in their decoration (see List below, Type III 1-2), with lettering: in coll. societ. iesu tolosae anno mdc, and speculates that all were bound locally and not in Paris. The former three were printed in the years 1564-1594, the latter two in 1589 and 1597. All five bindings may have been commissioned by Bishop Jean, and when gifted afterwards to the Collège des Jésuites de Toulouse, the empty centres of the covers were filled with the lettering.
Two more volumes can be associated with the Daffis family: the editio princeps of Eusebius, printed by Robert Estienne in 1545-1546, inscribed by Bishop Jean and by his nephew, Bernard (IV-1); and a chronicle of the First Crusade, printed at Basel in 1560-1564, inscribed by Bernard (IV-2).
