Descriptive card

Michel Baudier, born in Languedoc, was a historiographer of the royal court of the King Louis XIII. He is the author of five books on the Orient, based on secondary sources. He is unlikely to have travelled to the Orient or to have mastered Oriental languages except Hebrew, although there is some uncertainty concerning his life. His most famous book, the "Histoire generale de la religion des Turcs", is one of the first works in the French language solely devoted to the Islamic religion.
