      ↑ This book goes beyond the discoveries of modern, as there is about the journey of the Carthaginian Hanno and some others made ​​by the ancients; Bergeron but extends much on travel modern, and it starts them with the discovery of the Canary Islands , it refers to the end of the xv th century. He reviewed everything that has happened since that time until the time when he wrote. He talks about all these expeditions man who owned much about it.
      It sets a very plausible opinion on the possibility of a passage through the North , and think the ice should make it impenetrable. Among French travelers, he cites, Malherbe Vitre , he knew, and that party in 1581 at the age of fifteen, and income in 1608 , had spent more than twenty-seven years to go the Levant , the Asia , the Africa and America . Upon his return, he offered the king great and easy ways to travel very useful in France . Ignorant men out of business diverted Henri IV to listen to proposals Pierre-Olivier Malherbe .
      The latter, said Bergeron, left no writings and memories of his long journeys, of which nothing remains what it has said in the past few curious friends. It may be surprising that, among the French navigators, Bergeron makes no mention of Dieppe Parmentier . He spends even mention the fellow assigned to the marine shipping companies. The book ended with the genealogy of Bethencourt , and is usually connected with the following.↑ The title announces more that this book was written by the chaplain of the lord.↑ Bergeron says in his preface that he shot some of these relationships in the collection of Richard Hakluyt , since he managed to supplement this book with that of Samuel Purchas, and finally finished it all with the help of a Latin manuscript. The Treaty provides exact Tartars short history then known under this name, which included Turks and Mongols peoples. Bergeron will give a summary of all trips made ​​in the interior of Asia , and also those who had been initiated by the French to discover the Northwest Passage. In this book, as well as in the Treaty of navigation , Bergeron said he would do about a Latin volume of all the various relationships Travel in Tartary, which would be the two e tome Book Dci Gesta per Francos . He added that Bongars had this design, as seen in the preface to the 2 e part of his book, and he finally expressed as:"We must all wait some curious Ramusius French who enchérisse over diligence, research and the work of Italian, English and Dutch, French and even our own so far. "Van der Aa , bookseller in Leiden (voy, his article), reprinted the relationship Travels in Tartary , and gave him the title: Collection of various curious trips made ​​in Tartary and elsewhere, before the Treaty of navigation et'des travel discoveries, etc. , by P. Bergeron, Leyden, 1729, 2 vols. 4to, with maps and figures, the death of the editor prejudicing the flow of this collection, Neaulme , bookseller Hague , bought heirs and he published under a new title: Trips made ​Asia in the XII th , XIII e , XIV th and XV th centuries by Benjamin of Tudela , F.-J. Plan Carpin, F. Ascelin , Guillaume de Rubruquis ; Venetian Marco Polo , Haiton , John Mandeville and Ambrose Conlarini ; accompanied the history of the Saracens and Tartars, and preceded by an introduction to travel and new discoveries of the main traveler , Pierre Bergeron, The Hague , 1755 , 2 vols. 4to, maps and figures. Several authors, misled by the title, cited the collection of van der Aa as that of Bergeron; but we have seen by the above explanations of the difference between the two collections.The second, though containing more things than the first, it is less because it is made ​​with less care and judgment; it is sufficient to be convinced, read the Abstract travel to Mandeville , where one seeks in vain several curious facts contained in this relationship. Maps and plates are engraved: it is the only praise they deserve. The first, consistent with knowledge of the time offer no critical research trips they are intended to clarify; about the figures, they are purely imagination. Despite these shortcomings, the publication of van der Aa is often cited as the true collection of Bergeron, and some German scholars have even designated under the title of Sylloge Van der Aa , which may mislead those who view their works.
