Notes

Jean-François-Pierre Deterville was born in Grainville-sur-Odon, near Caen, to a farming family. He moved to Paris around 1782 and began an apprenticeship under printer/bookseller Pierre-François Didot in March 1787.

He started out by selling brochures and periodicals, then moved on to selling second-hand books on the steps of the Church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont, then finally set up a bookshop. He would have benefitted from the resale of old books from England during the Treaty of Amiens (1802-1803).

He became a patented (licensed) bookseller on 1st October 1812, with his patent renewed on 15th March 1817. Although he went blind in 1832, he continued trading until his death on 2nd October 1842.
