Many liberties taken with the text, and much abridged and disarranged.
Thus, after the Prologue it proceeds: "Al nome di Dio io Marcho Polo
Veneziano raccontero tutte le maravigliose chose ch'io trovai e
vidi, etc. etc." It ends the chapter on Russia with the following
impertinence: "E se volete sapere piu innanzi dimandatene un altro
ch'io Marcho Polo non cercai piu avanti." The Khalif is called
Largaliffe; Reobarles, Reubarbe, with a marginal note in
an old hand, "Reubarbe citta di Persia, donde viene il reubarbero
herba medicinale." Completed by Dolfo Spini, 16th July, 1425. Paper.
