About This Item

Reproduced from the Map in the Fenno House and sold at the Isaiah Thomas printing office , Old Sturbridge Village, 1953 .. Reproduction de la carte originale de 1702 devenue très rare, 38 x 30 cm, sous verre et encadrement en bois. Considérée comme la première carte du 18eme siècle de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, cette carte a été utilisée pour illustrer la célèbre histoire de Cotton Mather de la 'Bay Colony', 'Magnalia Christi Americana: or the Ecclesiastical History of New England from Its First Planting'. La carte fourni peu de nouvelles informations géographiques, car elle est basée sur une carte imprimée antérieure - la carte 1685 de Thornton, Morden et Lea de la Nouvelle-Angleterre. L'histoire de Mather sur la colonisation de la Nouvelle-Angleterre est l'une des sources les plus intéressantes et les plus précieuses pour l'étude de la vie au début de la Nouvelle-Angleterre coloniale. Il est considéré comme le livre le plus célèbre d'Amérique au XVIIIe siècle. -------------------------, Reproduction of the original 1702 map which has become very rare, 38 x 30 cm - 15.0 x 12.0 inches, under glass and wood frame. Recognized as the first 18th century map of New England, this map was used to illustrate Cotton Mather's famous history of the Bay Colony, 'Magnalia Christi Americana: or the Ecclesiastical History of New England from Its First Planting'. The map provided little new geographic information, since it was based on an earlier printed map -- Thornton, Morden, and Lea's 1685 map of New England. Mather's history of the settlement of New England is one of the most interesting and valuable sources for the study of life in early colonial New England. It is generally considered to be America's most famous 18th-century book.

About Minet

The current bookstore has its origins in the one that existed in the 80s in Redu, a small village in the Ardennes. It is there, in a charming manor house, Dirk Minet had his bookbinding workshop and his bookstore.

In the early 90s, he moved to Brussels and with the collaboration of his brother Bernard created a place even more conducive to the passion for old books that motivated them both. After seven years, Bernard leaves and Dirk alone presides over the destiny of the Minet-frères bookshop.

In April 1996 opening of the first website of the bookstore with the URL address http://www.librairie-minet-frères.
In June 1997, the site was completely renovated and changed address.
Today the books have found their setting in a splendid 19th century mansion.
