The below two French maps are circa 1714. They clearly demonstrate former Tartarian control and dominion over the region known today as Lhasa, Tibet. For me these maps signify, that some time prior to 1714, Tartary had enough power to have its name placed over these territories. And the power of Tartary was known all the way in Europe.
