Pierre Davity, or d'Avity, Sieur de Montmartin (1573-1635) was a French soldier and writer of compilations, today little known. His account of Senegal was plagiarised by Olfert Dapper in his Naukeurige beschrijvinge der Afrikaensche Eylanden (1668).

Pierre Davity is read about 2.5 times a day, in 4 languages.

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
