Description
This book is a translation of an Italian edition of Marco Polo's travels. It includes an index of identifications made in other translations of the text.
This edition first published in 1931. None of the manuscripts which have come down to us represent the original form of Marco Polo's narrative, but it is clear that certain texts are closer to the lost original than others. Aldo Ricci's translation of Benedetto's landmark Italian edition includes an invaluable index providing all the identifications made in the Geographic text and also later editions by Marsden (1818), Pauthier (1865), and Yule (1871).
