diocese of Carpentras, in the south of France, hence the name “Carpentras”.

This manuscript is valuable because it is the first complete story of an expedition of pirates and buccaneers in

the Caribbean Sea, which, besides Martinique, has also approached Dominica, St Vincent and the Grenadines and Barbados

This manuscript was found, transcribed, reviewed, annotated, commented by Jean-Pierre Moreau, archaeologist, and

published under the title: « Un flibustier français dans la mer des Antilles » (“A French buccaneer in the Caribbean Sea”)

The expedition in which participates the Anonymous leaves the port of Dieppe in France, on June 20, 1618, with four ships.

Men along the coast of Africa (Canary Islands, Cape Verde Islands), cross the ocean(crossing the line) to meet in the North East of Brazil

(Pernambuco or Recife), then go back to the North: Lesser Antilles and Greater Antilles.

They stayed ten months in the French island and it is one of the oldest known documents on Martinique.

Caribbean to Antillean nature;

it is thanks (or because of) this experience accumulated for years that the process of colonization will quickly impose.
