Le Clère 1853) Tartaria Vastissima regione abitata o dominata dai Tatari o Tartari, specialmente negli ultimi secoli del Medioevo; i suoi confini giunsero a toccare a O il Mar Nero e a E l’Oceano Pacifico. Canale di T. Il braccio di mare, detto anche stretto, che separa l’isola di Sahalin dalla costa asiatica continentale. Tartary was often divided into sections with prefixes denoting the name of the ruling power or the geographical location. Thus, western Siberia was Muscovite or Russian Tartary, Xinjiang and Mongolia were Chinese or Cathay Tartary, western Turkestan (later Russian Turkestan) was known as Independent Tartary, and Manchuria was East Tartary. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

> Un ouvrage remarquable qui conduit le lecteur dans l'Asie du XIXème siècle. le récit regorge d'informations sur les peuples de ces contrées, les curiosités et les mentalités. Il se lit très agréablement et sans lassitude, d'autant qu'il n'y a pas de bondieuseries intempestives de la part de ces missionnaires, vrais ethnologues en leur temps.
