| Summary: | Two French expeditions to Sumatra in 1529 and 1601 were recorded by Pierre Crignon and Francois Martin de Vitre respectively who participated in the voyages and whose accounts have survived. These accounts, in addition to their value as navigational records, provide an opportunity to compare evidence in such common areas as progress in navigation, attitudes about the voyages, and reactions to an exotic culture that was recorded at an interval in time that roughly spans the Renaissance experience of France. The contrasts support conventional views that the Renaissance witnessed a rise in curiosity and in acceptance of cultural relativism. |
