Printed books and manuscripts were not his only interests. Also known are his collection of coins and natural wonders as it was common to meet at the time, in cabinets of curiosities.
Legacy
When he died, he bequeathed a rich library of over 5,600 volumes.[1] Three quarters of this collection are today stored at the municipal library of Lyon. Other copies are to be found at the Académie de Lyon, the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the British Library.
