Grégoire de Tartary

Grégoire de Tartary, also known as Grégoire de Saint-Vincent, was a French explorer and writer in the 17th century. He is best known for his accounts of the regions of Tartary, a term used historically to refer to parts of Central Asia and Siberia. His writings provided valuable insights into the cultures, peoples, and geography of these areas at a time when they were largely unknown to the Western world. De Tartary’s work contributed to the understanding of Asian societies and influenced European perceptions of the continent during the Age of Exploration.
