Person
Giovanni Maria Leria
Giovanni Maria Leria was an Italian Jesuit missionary who lived in Vientiane, capital of Lan Xang, in the 1640s during the reign of Sourigna Vongsa. He made few converts, but his account of the kingdom, published by the Jesuit Giovanni Filippo de Marini, is one of the earliest European descriptions of Laos.
