A little about the book
Marco Polo’s account travels through places, rulers and trade routes his European audience had little chance to see. Descriptions of distance and merchandise often sit next to stories about the people said to control a region.
Volume one rewards attention to the edition’s notes as well as to the journey. A modern reader can see translators and editors testing old names against later geographical knowledge.
