Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GAIGNIERES, FRANCOIS ROGER DE (1642-1715) , French genealogist, antiquary and collector, was the son of Aime de Gaignieres, secretary to the
governor
  of
Burgundy
 , and was born on the 3oth of December 1642.. He became ecuyer (
esquire
 ) to Louis Joseph, duke of Guise, and afterwards to Louis Joseph's aunt, Marie of Guise, by whom in 1679 he was appointed
governor
  of her principality of Joinville. At an early age he began to make a collection of
original
  materials for history generally, and, in particular, for that of the French
church
  and
court
 . He brought together a large collection of
original
  letters and otherdocuments, together with portraits and prints, and had !copies made of a
great
  number of the most curious antiquarian objects, such as seals, tombstones, stained glass, miniatures and tapestry. In 1711 he presented the whole of his collections to the king. The bulk of them is preserved in the Bibliotheque Nationale at Paris, and a certain number in the Bodleian library at
Oxford
 .
