Denis Horthemels

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Denis Horthemels (* 168? In Paris ; † September 1, 1749 ibid), was a French bookseller and publisher .

Horthemels was the son of the booksellers and publishers Marie-Anne Cellier and Daniel Horthemels . In 1718 he was accepted into the booksellers' guild as a master, and became self-employed as a bookseller and publisher. He was married to Marie-Madeleine Delaporte. The marriage remained childless.

All of his close relatives were busy in the field of book printing at the time. While his grandparents and parents were booksellers, he too, like his brother Daniel II, was active in this profession. The other siblings, Frederic , Marie-Anne , Louise-Madeleine and Marie-Nicole were engravers .

Joseph d'Hémery , who controlled the book trade as an inspector , found that Horthemels was doing poorly. After his death, his widow continued the business.

In addition to the Bible, he published works by Georg Ernst Stahl , Gideon Harvey , Joseph de La Charrière , Joseph Addison and a number of other authors.
