= Henze III, p.179ff; Mendelssohn I, p.875-877: "(...) The volumes contain descriptions of the islands Rodriguez, Mauritius, and Batavia, together with an interesting account of the Cape and the Hottentots, and of the Dutch settlements in the Colony. (...)". Howgego L109: "17th-Century French Huguenot who described his adventures in the Indian Ocean, including a landing on what has been identified as the island of Rodriguez. The voyage has always been regarded with some suspicion, some suggesting that it was composed by François Macimilien Misson from other French sources. To add to the confusion, other scholars regard Misson himself as totally fictitious." "Op Rodrigues wonen wérkelijk andere mensen met andere gebruiken. (...) De literatuur over het eiland is gering en van het meest tot de verbeelding sprekende boek dat ooit over het eiland verscheen, werd - en wordt door sommigen nog steeds - beweerd dat het fictie is en niet authentiek. Voyage et aventures de François Leguat (...) is een robinsonade, dat wil zeggen het verslag van enkele mensen die op een onbewoond eiland schipbreuk lijden, overleven, en uiteindelijk zichzelf naar de bewoonde wereld kunnen slepen of gered worden. Toen Leguat (1638-1715 [of later]) zijn boek publiceerde was het bepaald een bestseller - toch zijn de eerste (roof)drukken erg gezocht en kostbaar - en latere edities werden voornamelijk gelezen als een avonturenroman en niet als een waar gebeurd verhaal. Hoewel François Leguat de la Fougère een uniek verslag schreef van de natuur van een obscuur eiland en in het bijzonder het enige bericht neerpende over de nu al zo lang uitgestorven dodo-achtige loopvogel, de solitaire, verdween zijn boek in de negentiende eeuw uit de aandacht van de lezers. Pas na de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd Leguat gerehabiliteerd." (B. Büch, De hele wereld in een vitrinekast, p.206-208). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE CXLV.
