ROME
Barberini Library, XXXIV. 4
Latin.
A MS. volume, containing Ricold of Monte Croce; Tractatus divisionis et
ambitus Orbis Terrarum, etc.; Liber de divisione Orbis Terrarum;
Libellus de Mirabilibus Urbis Romae; and "Incipit de Morum et Gentium
Varietatibus editus a Marcho Polo Veneto." It is very cramply
written, much compressed, and has no division into books or chapters.
Ends with "Roscia, provincia maxima." "Explicit libellus
editus a Dno. Marcho Polo de Venetiis de diversis provinciis et gentibus
mundi, et earum ritibus et moribus diversis et artibus."

Chigi Library, M. VI. 140

Bears a note in the handwriting of Pope Alexander VII. (Fabio Chigi of
Sienna, 1655-1667), which draws attention to Sienese peculiarities in
the language, and assigns the date about 1420

Seems to be different from any of the other Latin versions. It has the
prefatory address to Domini Imperatores, Reges, Duces, etc.
