Guy Tachard fu missionario gesuita e scopritore francese, viaggio molto in Nord America esuccessivamente in Siam. L'antico nome della Thailandia ovvero il Siam rimase a lungo una regione scarsamente conosciuta agli europei. Si ebbero notizie incerte da viaggiatori durante il Medioevo e la prima età moderna, che lo avevano visitato superficialmente. Maggiori quantità di notizie ed informazioni funzionali all'espansionismo commerciale portoghese e in seguito degli olandesi e degli inglesi, si ebbero nel XVI secolo, ma la conoscenza del Siam migliorò notevolmente soprattutto grazie alle relazioni dei Gesuiti francesi, tra cui quella assai dettagliata, compilata dal padre Guy Tachard. Buon esemplare genuino stampato su carta vergellata parzialmente in barbe con note a stampa al margine. Saltuari aloni marginali da pagg. 40 a pagg. 80 e riprende verso la fine del tomo da pagg. 385 al marg. est dell'angolo inferiore. De Backer-Sommervogel VII-1802<BR>
