“This book explores the first French translation of George Psalmanazar ‘DESCRIPTION DE L’ILE FORMOSA EN ASIE.’ Although Psalmanazar never actually visited Taiwan, he provided fictional information about the island, which had a significant impact in Europe during the early 18th century. The French translation was first published in Amsterdam in 1705, becoming an important document for understanding Taiwan at that time.”
