Alain Manesson Mallet (1630-1706) was a French cartographer and engineer primarily known for his significant contributions to cartography, particularly through the present work.
He began his career as a soldier in the army of Louis XIV, eventually rising to the rank of Sergeant-Major in the artillery and serving as an Inspector of Fortifications.
Mallet also served under the King of Portugal before returning to France where he was appointed to the court of Louis XIV. His expertise in military engineering and mathematics earned him a position teaching mathematics at the royal court=====Thank You
