- 3. “Howbeit, during the last hundred years, persons acquainted Ch.106

- prologue of Marco Polo’s book that he had derived from a recent piece Ch.108
- 6. “Not many months after the arrival of the travellers at Venice, Ch.109
- 7. “The captivity of Messer Marco greatly disturbed the minds Ch.110
- 8. “As regards the after duration of this noble and worthy family, Ch.111
- 9. The story of the travels of the Polo family opens in 1260. Ch.112
- 10. In Asia and Eastern Europe scarcely a dog might bark without Ch.113
- 11. For about three centuries the Northern provinces of China had been Ch.114
- 12. In India the most powerful sovereign was the Sultan of Delhi, Ch.115
- 13. In days when History and Genealogy were allowed to draw largely Ch.116
- 14. Till quite recently it had never been precisely ascertained whether Ch.117
- 15. Of the three sons of Andrea Polo of S. Felice, Marco seems to have Ch.118
- 16. Nicolo Polo, the second of the Brothers, had two legitimate sons, Ch.119
- 17. Kúblái had never before fallen in with European gentlemen. He was Ch.120
- 18. The Brothers arrived at Acre in April,[10] 1269, and found that Ch.121
- 19. The Papal interregnum was the longest known, at least since the Ch.122
- 20. Kúblái received the Venetians with great cordiality, and took Ch.123
- 21. Arghún Khan of Persia, Kúblái’s great-nephew, had in 1286 lost his Ch.124
- 22. The princess, whose enjoyment of her royalty was brief, wept as she Ch.125
- 1295. The date assigned to it, however, by Marco (ii. 477) is 1294, Ch.126
- 23. We have seen that Ramusio places the scene of the story recently Ch.127
- 24. The Court which was known in the 16th century as the Corte del Ch.128
- 25. And before entering on this new phase of the Traveller’s biography Ch.129
- 26. This system of grouping the oars, and putting only one man to an Ch.130
- 27. Returning then to the three-banked and two-banked galleys of the Ch.131
- 28. Midships in the mediæval galley a castle was erected, of the width Ch.132
- 29. We have already mentioned that Sanudo requires for his three-banked Ch.133
- 30. The musicians formed an important part of the equipment. Sanudo Ch.134
- 1503. The crew amounted to 200, of whom 150 were for working the Ch.135
- 31. Jealousies, too characteristic of the Italian communities, were, Ch.136
- 32. Truces were made and renewed, but the old fire still smouldered. In Ch.137
- 33. In 1298 the Genoese made elaborate preparations for a great blow at Ch.138
- 34. It was on the afternoon of Saturday the 6th September that the Ch.139
- 35. The battle began early on Sunday and lasted till the afternoon. The Ch.140
- 36. Howsoever they may have been treated, here was Marco Polo one of Ch.141
- episode in Polo’s biography. Ch.142
- 37. Something further requires to be said before quitting this event in Ch.143
- 1278. On this occasion is recorded a remarkable anticipation of Ch.144
- 38. We have now to say something of that Rusticiano to whom all who Ch.145
- 39. Who, then, was Rusticiano, or, as the name actually is read in the Ch.146
- 40. Rustician’s literary work appears from the extracts and remarks of Ch.147
- 41. A question may still occur to an attentive reader as to the Ch.148
- 42. In Dunlop’s History of Fiction a passage is quoted from the Ch.149
- 353. The alleged gift to Rustician is also put forth by D’Israeli Ch.150
- 43. A few very disconnected notices are all that can be collected of Ch.151
- 44. In 1302 occurs what was at first supposed to be a glimpse of Ch.152
- 45. A little later we hear of Marco once more, as presenting a copy of Ch.153
- 46. When Marco married we have not been able to ascertain, but it was Ch.154
- 47. We catch sight of our Traveller only once more. It is on the 9th of Ch.155
- 48. He was buried, no doubt, according to his declared wish, in the Ch.156
- 49. From the short series of documents recently alluded to,[28] we Ch.157
- 2. He had drafted his will with his own hand, sealed the draft, Ch.158
- 3. Appoints as Trustees Messer Maffeo Polo his uncle, Marco Polo Ch.159
- 4. Leaves 20 _soldi_ to each of the Monasteries from Grado to Capo Ch.160
- 5. To his daughter Fiordelisa 2000 _lire_ to marry her withal. To Ch.161

- 7. To his natural daughter Pasqua 400 _lire_ to marry her withal. Ch.163
- 8. To his natural brothers Stephen and Giovannino he leaves 500 Ch.164
- 100. To Fiordelisa, wife of Felix Polo, 100. To Maroca, the Ch.165
- 10. To buy Public Debt producing an annual 20 _lire ai grossi_ to Ch.166
- 11. Should his wife prove with child and bear a son or sons they Ch.167
- 12. If he have no male heir his Brother Marco shall have the Ch.168
- 13. Should Daughter Fiordelisa die unmarried her 2000 _lire_ and Ch.169
- 14. Should his wife bear him a male heir or heirs, but these should Ch.170
- 15. Should his wife bear a daughter and she die unmarried, her Ch.171
- 16. Should the whole amount of his property between cash and goods Ch.172
- 1342. And some years later we have in the Sicilian Archives an Ch.173
- 50. The Book itself consists essentially of Two Parts. _First_, of Ch.174
- 51. As regards the language in which Marco’s Book was first Ch.175
- 52. The French Text that we have been quoting, published by the Ch.176
- 53. Another circumstance, heretofore I believe unnoticed, is in itself Ch.177
- 54. But, after all, the circumstantial evidence that has been adduced Ch.178
- 55. In treating of the various Texts of Polo’s Book we must necessarily Ch.179
- 56. II. The next Type is that of the French MSS. on which M. Pauthier’s Ch.180
- 57. There is another curious circumstance about the MSS. of this Ch.181
- 58. III. The next Type of Text is that found in Friar Pipino’s Latin Ch.182
- 59. The absence of effective publication in the Middle Ages led to a Ch.183
- 60. IV. We now come to a Type of Text which deviates largely from Ch.184
- 61. Thus we find substituted for the _Bastra_ (or _Bascra_) of the Ch.185
- 62. Of circumstances certainly genuine, which are peculiar to this Ch.186
- 63. Though difficulties will certainly remain,[17] the most probable Ch.187
- 64. To sum up. It is, I think, beyond reasonable dispute that we Ch.188
- 65. Whilst upon this subject of manuscripts of our Author, I will give Ch.189
- 1. The mention of the death of Kúblái (see note 7, p. 38 of this Ch.190
- 2. Mr. Hugh Murray objects that whilst in the old texts Polo Ch.191
- 3. The same editor points to the manner in which one of the Ch.192
- 1. In the chapter on Georgia: Ch.193
- 3. After the chapter on Mosul is another short chapter, already Ch.194
- 4. In the chapter on _Tarcan_ (for Carcan, _i.e._ Yarkand): Ch.195
- 5. In the Desert of Lop: Ch.196
- 7. “Et in medio hujus viridarii est palacium sive logia, _tota Ch.197
- 66. That Marco Polo has been so universally recognised as the King of Ch.198
- 67. Surely Marco’s real, indisputable, and, in their kind, unique Ch.199
- 68. What manner of man was Ser Marco? It is a question hard to answer. Ch.200
- 69. Of scientific notions, such as we find in the unveracious Ch.201
- 70. The Book, however, is full of bearings and distances, and I have Ch.202
- 71. In the early part of the Book we are told that Marco acquired Ch.203
- 72. A question naturally suggests itself, how far Polo’s narrative, Ch.204
- 73. On the other hand, though Marco, who had left home at fifteen Ch.205
- 74. We have seen in the most probable interpretation of the nickname Ch.206
- Introduction, p. 55.) There is a curious parallel between the two Ch.207
- 75. But we must return for a little to Polo’s own times. Ramusio Ch.208
- 76. Of contemporary or nearly contemporary references to our Traveller Ch.209
- 77. Lastly, we learn from a curious passage in a medical work by PIETRO Ch.210
- 78. There is, however, a notable work which is ascribed to a rather Ch.211
- 79. Marco Polo contributed such a vast amount of new facts to the Ch.212
- 80. As regards the second cause alleged, we may say that down nearly to Ch.213
- 81. Even Ptolemy seems to have been almost unknown; and indeed had his Ch.214
- 82. Among the Arabs many able men, from the early days of Islám, Ch.215
- 83. Some distinct trace of acquaintance with the Arabian Geography is Ch.216
- 84. The first genuine mediæval attempt at a geographical construction Ch.217
- 85. In the following age we find more frequent indications that Polo’s Ch.218
- 86. The Maps of Mercator (1587) and Magini (1597) are similar in Ch.219
- 87. Before concluding, it may be desirable to say a few words on the Ch.220
- 88. Mr. Curzon’s own observations, which I have italicised about Ch.221
- 89. It remains to say a few words regarding the basis adopted for our Ch.222
- 90. It will be clear from what has been said in the preceding pages Ch.223
- 91. As regards the reading of proper names and foreign words, in which Ch.224
