LOGIC FOR PhD STUDENTS GROUCHY, Nicolas de. 

Praeceptiones dialecticae, Nicolao Gruchio Rotomagensi authore.  Disputatio eiusdem, quid de nomine dialectices & logices cum Aristotele sentiendum sit, & quò singuli libri Organi Aristotelis pertineant. 

An apparently unrecorded edition of Grouchy’s abstract of his lectures on logic and Aristotelian dialectic.  The philologist Nicolas de Grouchy (1510–1572) spent twelve years in Bordeaux (1535-47) as professor of rhetoric at the Collège de Guyenne (the top class was called ‘Classe de Rhétorique’), and his book became part of the Collège’s published syllabus for the two-year course for philosophiae doctores.  He also published Aristotle’s works in Joachim Perion’s Latin version and took a serious interest in jurisprudence.  He was an important friend of George Buchanan whom (in 1547) he accompanied to Portugal as part of John III’s intended scheme for the reform of the College of Arts in Coimbra.
