Below this title the mark of the printer SESSA: a cat holding a mouse in
its mouth with the initials I and B on the right and on the left of the
coat of arms (with a ducal crown above) which exhibits this group, and S
at foot. Verso of f. 83:
Finisse lo libro de Marco Polo da Venie || sia dele merauegliose cose
del modo Im || presso in Venetia per zoanne Baptista || da Sessa
Milanese del M. ccccxcvi. || adi. xiii. del mese de Iunio regna || do lo
Illustrissimo Principe Au || gustino Barbadico inclyto || Duce di
Venetia.
Recto of folio 84: "Registro. a b c d e f g h i k l Tutti questi sono
quaderni excepto l chie duerno"; audessous le monogramme de l'imprimeur
en blanc sur fond noir. - Verso of folio 84 is blank.
The copy which I have examined is in the Grenville Library, No. 6666. It
is in fine condition and complete, notwithstanding what the Sobolewski
Sale Catalogue says to the contrary (No. 1730): it is a small 8vo ff. 84;
each quire containing, as is indicated by the register, eight sheets,
except quire 1, which has but four.
Grenville added to his copy the following note: "This appears to be the
first edition printed in the original Italian. - The Abbe Morelli who
sent me this book from Venice had found great difficulty in procuring a
copy for the Library of St. Marc. - Panzer III. 396, refers only to the
mention made of it by Denis. Supp. I, p'e 415. I know of no other copy in
England...."
Lazari, p. 460, says: "Prima e rarissima edizione del compendio veneziano.
Un capitolo che parla di Trebisonda, tratto dal viaggio di Fr. Odorico,
precede il testo del Polo mutilo e scorrettissimo: quel capitolo non forma
pero parte d'esso, come nelle molte ristampe di questo compendio."
See Odoric de Pordenone, par Henri Cordier, p. 9.
