Jean Baptiste Douville, född 1794, död 183 … Jean Baptiste Douville, född 1794, död 1837 (mördad), var en fransk upptäcktsresande och mystifikatör. Douville genomförde långa resor inom flera kontinenter och utgav 1832 det omfattande verket Voyage au Congo et dans l'intérieur de l’Afrique équinoxiale fait dans les années 1828, 1829 et 1830, vilket fick stor uppmärksamhet inom den lärda världen. Han tilldelades franska geografiska sällskapets stora guldmedalj för sina påstådda upptäckter från Benguela i nuvarande Angola till Stora sjöarna i USA, men hyllningarna övergick snart i en skarp kritik, vilken gick ut på att hans arbete var ett falsarium. Han lyckades ej övertyga allmänheten om motsatsen och reste sig 1833 till Brasilien, där han sedermera mördades. Det har konstaterats att Douville företog vissa resor i Centralafrika, men ej i den omfattning som han själv uppgav. Den brittiske forskaren Richard Francis Burton ansåg dock att Douvilles beskrivningar av Kongotrakten var träffande, hans iakttagelser anmärkningsvärt noggranna och de i hans arbete anförda proven på den inhemska befolkningens språk ovanligt korrekta. Detta har ansetts tyda på att Douville använde tidigare outgivna portugisiska beskrivningar som källa till sin skildring sina övriga påstådda resor i detta område.sina övriga påstådda resor i detta område.
, Jean Baptiste Douville (1794–1837), French … Jean Baptiste Douville (1794–1837), French traveller, was born at Hambye, in the department of Manche. Having at an early age inherited a fortune, he decided to gratify his taste for foreign travel. According to his own profession he visited India, Kashmir, Khorasan, Persia, Asia Minor and many parts of Europe. In 1826 he went to South America, and in 1827 left Brazil for the Portuguese possessions on the West Coast of Africa, where his presence in March 1828 is proved by the mention made of him in letters of Castello Branco, the governor-general of Luanda. In May 1831 he reappeared in France, claiming to have pushed his explorations into the very heart of central Africa. His story was readily accepted by the Société de Géographie of Paris, which hastened to recognize his services by assigning him the great gold medal, and appointing him their secretary for the year 1832. On the publication of his narrative, Voyage au Congo et dans l'interieur de l'Afrique Equinoxiale, which occupied three volumes and was accompanied by an elaborate atlas, public enthusiasm ran high. Before the year 1832 was out, however, it was established that Douville's voyage was romance and not verity. He had probably been inspired by the appearance of René Caillié's account of his journey to Timbuktu, and wished to obtain a share of the fame attaching to African explorers. Douville tried vainly to establish the truth of his story in Ma Defense (1832), and Trente Mois de ma Vie, ou Quinze Mois avant et Quinze Mois aprés ma Voyage au Congo (1833). Mile Audrun, a lady to whom he was about to be married, committed suicide from grief at the disgrace; and the adventurer withdrew in 1833 to Brazil, and proceeded to make explorations in the Amazon Basin. According to Dr G. Gardner, in his Travels in the Interior of Brazil (1846), he was murdered in 1837 on the banks of the São Francisco River for charging too high for his medical assistance. Douville may well have explored part of the province of Angola, and Sir Richard Burton maintained that the Frenchman's descriptions of the country of the Congo were lifelike; that his observations on the anthropology, ceremonies, customs and maladies of the people were remarkably accurate; and that even the native words used in his narrative were "for the most part given with unusual correctness." It has been shown, however, that the chief source of Douville's inspiration was a number of unpublished Portuguese manuscripts to which he had access.uguese manuscripts to which he had access.
