Israel Gaston Monteux }} Jacques Guérin (23 June 1902 - 6 August 2000) was a French industrialist and book collector. For 46 years, he presided over Maison D'Orsay, a Paris perfumery. Guérin was well-known for his large collection of books and manuscripts, including a significant number of Marcel Proust's papers. At its peak, his library contained more than 2,000 items, including many first editions and manuscripts. In 1998, a Arthur Rimbaud manuscript in his possession sold to the French state for 2.9 million francs. Provided by Wikipedia
