Marie-Claudine Rozet
Marie-Claudine Germain-Rozet also Marie-Claude-Lucie Germain (* unknown; † 1784 in Moscow ) was one of the first French booksellers in Russia .
Live and act
She was born in Germain and came from a family of booksellers. She married Benoît Rozet (approx. 1732–1794) who worked in the same profession . He, in turn, was the son of a Lyon merchant and worked in Paris with André-François Le Breton . The couple had four children.
She left France and moved to Russia, where she lived from 1770 alternately in Saint Petersburg and Moscow . At first she started her work with the recommendation of the astronomer Joseph Jérôme Lefrançais de Lalande as an educator, governess , in order to later sell books. She was not only valued for the quality of her goods, but she also created a network among many contemporary academics in Russia, such as the astronomer and mathematician Johann Albrecht Euler and the historian Gerhard Friedrich Müller . It is thanks to her that the work on the history of Russia, Histoire de Russie, Paris (1785), by Pierre-Charles Levesque was also distributed in the tsarist empire.
During his trip to Russia , Denis Diderot met the dedicated bookseller.
