Crignon, Pierre
Pierre Crignon (1464 - 1540) was a French navigator, astronomer, and chartmaker of the Dieppe school of cartography. He is remembered for his account of the ill-fated Sumatra voyage of Jean and Raoul Parmentier in 1529; he is thought to be the author of the relation 'Discorso d'un Gran Capitano di mare Francese dell luoco di Dieppa,' published in the third volume of Giovanni Battista Ramusio's Della Navigationi describing French discoveries in North America, Brazil, Guinea, and Sumatra.
