The printer-librarian André Faure (1678-1753) held several positions in his profession: printer of the Grande Chartreuse (in 1697); printer (ordinary) of the King (in 1719); printer of monseigneur l'illustrissime et révérendissime évêque et comte de Die (in 1720); printer of the Collège Royal-Dauphin (in 1748); and of monseigneur l'archevêque (et prince) d'Embrun. He was the eldest son and successor of Claude Faure, practicing since 1697 near the Grande Chartreuse. Then, established in Grenoble in 1698 by order of the Council, he worked first in association with his mother, Marie Galle, widow of Claude Faure and, from 1722 to 1745, sometimes in association with his younger brother Pierre II Faure (as here).
