looks like they were a rather specialized publisher (Editeur) and are still
doing business as a bookseller, though they don't seem to have their own
website, nor very much of a web presence, that i can find.
a 38,112 euro item:

but, curiously, nothing else for sale at that show(?)

The manuscripts in question were quite expensive, so I expect that it was
an important Antiquarian Bookshop (may even exist today!).
back in those days even rather expensive mss could show up among comparatively
minor dealers, i believe.
looks like they are still putting out pretty fancy catalogues:

some of which i've probably seen but have no specific memory of.
the French Antiquarian Book World is pretty arcane.
