Henri-Louis Baudrier (pronounced [bo.dʁi.je]; 29 May 1815 – 17 June 1884) was a French bibliographer, magistrate, and the co-author of Bibliographie lyonnaise: recherches sur les imprimeurs, libraires, relieurs et fondeurs de lettres de Lyon au XVIe siècle par le Président Baudrier, publiées et continuées par J. Baudrier,[a] an encyclopaedic work published in eleven volumes from 1895 to 1914.[1][2] It focused extensively on the bookselling and publishing industry of 16th-century Lyon, with entries on more than 2,000 people—many of whom were printers, bookbinders and booksellers based in the city.[1]
Baudrier was born to a family of magistrates in Lyon. He became a substitute judge in 1846 and was dismissed in 1848. The following year he was reinstated as a magistrate. He was appointed Court Counsellor (conseiller à la Cour) in 1856 and President of the Chamber (président de chambre) in 1869.[1] A noted bibliophile and book collector, he left a library of more than 8,000 books that mainly comprised 15th- and 16th-century Lyonese printed works when he died in Paris in 1884.[1]
