50 SIENA Public Library, c. V 14 Italian.

This is a miscellaneous MS. which, among other things; contains a fragment of Polo, "Qui comicio ellibro di Missere Macho Polo da Vinegia de le cose maniglose che trovo p lo mondo," etc. It calls Rusticiano Missere Stacio da Pisa. - N.B. - Baldelli gives a very similar description of a fragment at Sienna, but under press mark A. IV. 8. I assume that it is the same that I saw.
