[Brittany]. Map of the Old Town, or the Ville-Neuve and Nouvelle-Ville districts... In Rennes, published by Mathurin Denys (1677–1699). A woodcut map, 39.2 x 38.7 cm on a sheet measuring 44 x 56 cm, mounted on a tab in the left-hand margin (marginal foxing, slightly creased). This map is known as the “Hevin Map,” named after the city’s public prosecutor at the time. Pierre Hévin III (1623–1692), a Breton lawyer and politician, served as public prosecutor from 1671 to 1674. Deeply committed to defending the city’s interests, he undertook, among other things, the inventory and preservation of its archives, titles, and rights. His tenure was marked by his opposition to the significant establishment of religious communities in Rennes. After 1674, he continued to play an active role in the city’s political life and affairs until his death. The map includes explanatory notes in the side margins and is adorned with the coats of arms of France and the city. The title runs along the top margin.
