Veuve de Daniel Horthemels

Marie-Anne Cellier , better known as Veuve de Daniel Horthemels (* 16 ..? In Paris ; † 172.? Ibid), was a French bookseller and publisher .

Cellier was the daughter of the bookseller Antoine Cellier, with whom she also studied. In 1678 she married Daniel Horthemels from the Netherlands , who was also a bookseller and publisher. From this marriage there were six children. The sons Daniel and Denis also became booksellers. The son Frederic , like his sisters Marie-Anne , Louise-Madeleine and Marie-Nicole, became a copper engraver .

After her husband's death in 1691, she took over the bookstore. Since her husband had left a lot of debts, she was forced to sell her household items, furniture and books. She then started working as a publisher. The son Daniel stayed with his mother in the bookstore, while Denis went into business for himself as a publisher.

In addition to religious writings, she published works by Jean de Hautefeuille , Claude-Ignace Brugière de Barante , Roland Fréart de Chambray and a number of other authors.
