L.—VARIOUS EDITIONS.

74.—1. The edition of Marco Polo in preparation by Klaproth is
announced in the part of June, 1824 of the _Journal Asiatique_,
pp. 380–381.

“M. Klaproth vient de terminer son travail sur _Marco Polo_, qui l’a occupé depuis plusieurs années....

“La nouvelle édition de _Marco Polo_, que notre confrère prépare, contiendra l’italien de Ramusio, complété, et des Notes explicatives en bas des pages. Elle sera accompagnée d’une Carte représentant les pays visités ou décrits par le célèbre Vénitien.”

—See also on this edition of Klaproth, the _Bulletin des Sciences historiques, antiquités_ etc., juin 1824, art. 580; the _Jour. des Savans_, juillet 1824, pp. 446–447, and the _Jour. As._ of 1824–1828: _Recherches sur les Ports de Gampou_. Klaproth’s materials for this edition were sold after his death Fr.200 to the bookseller Duprat; see _Cat. des Livres composant la Bib. de M. K._, IIᵉ Partie, No. 292.

III.—TITLES OF SUNDRY BOOKS AND PAPERS WHICH TREAT OF MARCO POLO
AND HIS BOOK.

1. SALVIATI, Cavalier LIONARDO. _Degli Avvertimenti della Lingua
sopra ’l Decamerone_. In Venezia, 1584.

Has some brief remarks on Texts of Polo, and on references to him or his story in Villani and Boccaccio.

2. MARTINI, MARTINO. _Novus Atlas Sinensis_. Amstelodami, 1655.

The Maps are from Chinese sources, and are surprisingly good. The Descriptions, also from Chinese works but interspersed with information of Martini’s own, have, in their completeness, never been superseded. This estimable Jesuit often refers to Polo with affectionate zeal, identifying his localities, and justifying his descriptions. The edition quoted in this book forms a part of Blaeu’s Great Atlas (1663). It was also reprinted in Thévenot’s Collection.

3. KIRCHER, ATHANASIUS. _China Illustrata_. Amstelodami, 1667.

He also often refers to Polo, but chiefly in borrowing from Martini.

4. MAGAILLANS, GABRIEL DE (properly _Magalhaens_). _Nouvelle
Description de la Chine, contenant la description des
Particularités les plus considérables de ce Grand Empire_. Paris,
1688, 4to.

Contains many excellent elucidations of Polo’s work.

5. CORONELLI, VINCENZO. _Atlante Veneto_. Venezia, 1690.

Has some remarks on Polo, and the identity of Cathay and Cambaluc with China and Peking.

6. MURATORI, LUD. ANT. _Perfetta Poesia, con note di_ SALVINI.
Venezia, 1724.

In vol. ii. p. 117, Salvini makes some remarks on the language in which he supposes Polo to have composed his Book.

7. FOSCARINI, MARCO. _Della Letteratura Veneziana_. Padova, 1752.
Vol. i. 414 _seqq._

8. FOSCARINI, MARCO. _Frammento inedito di, intorno ai Viaggiatori
Veneziani_; accompanied by Remarks on Bürck’s German edition
of Marco Polo, by TOMMASO GAR (late Director of the Venice
Archives). In _Archivio Storico Italiano_, Append. tom. iv. p. 89
_seqq._ [See _Bibliography_, _supra_ 8–8, p. 557.]

9. ZENO, APOSTOLO, _Annotazioni sopra la Biblioteca dell’Eloquenza
Italiana di Giusto Fontanini_. Venezia, 1753.

See Marsden’s Introduction, _passim_.

10. TIRABOSCHI, GIROLAMO. _Storia della Letteratura Italiana_.
Modena, 1772–1783.

There is a disquisition on Polo, with some judicious remarks (iv. pp. 68–73).

11. TOALDO, GIUSEPPE. _Saggi di Studi Veneti nell’Astronomia e nella
Marina_. Ven. 1782.

This work, which I have not seen, is stated to contain some remarks on Polo’s Book. The author had intended to write a Commentary thereon, and had collected books and copies of MSS. with this view, and read an article on the subject before the Academy of Padua, but did not live to fulfil his intention (d. 1797).

[See _Cicogna_, II. p. 386; vi. p. 855.]

12. LESSING. _Marco Polo, aus einer Handschrift ergănzt, und aus
einer andern sehr zu verbessern: (Zur Geschichte und Literatur_
... von G. E. Lessing. II. _Beytrag_. Braunschweig, 1773, 8vo,
pp. 259–298.)

13. FORSTER, J. REINHOLD. _H. des Découvertes et des Voyages faits
dans le Nord_. French Version. Paris, 1788.

14. SPRENGEL, MATHIAS CHRISTIAN. _Geschichte der wichtigsten
geographischen Entdeckungen_, &c. 2nd Ed. Halle, 1792.

This book, which is a marvel for the quantity of interesting matter which it contains in small space, has much about Polo.

15. ZURLA, Abate PLACIDO. Life of Polo, in _Collezione di Vite e
Ritratti d’Illustri Italiani_. Padova, 1816.

This book is said to have procured a Cardinal’s Hat for the author. It is a respectable book, and Zurla’s exertions in behalf of the credit of his countrymen are greatly to be commended, though the reward seems inappropriate.

16. ———, ———. _Dissertazioni di Marco Polo e degli altri Viaggiatori
Veneziani, &c._ Venezia, 1818–19, 4to.

17. 18, 19. QUARTERLY REVIEW, vol. xxi. (1819), contains an Article
on Marsden’s Edition, written by John Barrow, Esq.; that for
July, 1868, contains another on Marco Polo and his Recent
Editors, written by the present Editor; and that for Jan. 1872,
one on the First Edition of this work, by R. H. Major, Esq.

Gymnasiums_ ... von dem Direktor Johann Joachim Bellermann. Sm.
8vo, s. d. [1821].

22. KLAPROTH, JULIUS. A variety of most interesting articles in the
_Journal Asiatique_ (see sér. I. tom. iv., tom. ix.; sér. II.
tom. i. tom. xi. etc.), and in his _Mémoires Relatifs à l’Asie_.
Paris, 1824.

Klaproth speaks more than once as if he had a complete Commentary on Marco Polo prepared or in preparation (_e.g._, see _J. As._, sér. i. tom. iv. p. 380). But the examination of his papers after his death produced little or nothing of this kind.—[Cf. _supra_, p. 573.]

23. CICOGNA, EMMANUELE ANTONIO. _Delle Iscrizioni Veneziane, Raccolte
ed Illustrate._ Venezia, 1824–1843.

Contains valuable notices regarding the Polo family, especially in vol. ii.

24. RÉMUSAT, JEAN PIERRE ABEL. _Mélanges Asiatiques_. Paris, 1825.

The latter contains (i. 381 _seqq._) an article on Marsden’s _Marco Polo_, and one (p. 397 _seqq._) upon Zurla’s Book.

This contains a life of Marco Polo, vol. ii. pp. 1–34.

28. ST. JOHN, JAMES AUGUSTUS. _Lives of Celebrated Travellers_.
London (_circa_ 1831).

Contains a life of Marco Polo, which I regret not to have seen.

29. COOLEY, W. D. _Hist. of Maritime and Inland Discovery_. London
(_circa_ 1831).

This excellent work contains a good chapter on Marco Polo.

30. RITTER, CARL. _Die Erdkunde von Asien_. Berlin, 1832, _seqq._

This great work abounds with judicious comments on Polo’s Geography, most of which have been embodied in Bürck’s edition.

Mondes_ for 1st July, 1832. Vol. vii. 8vo, pp. 24.

tom. xvi. Jan. 1851.

33. MALTE-BRUN. _Précis de la Géog. Universelle_, 4^{iéme} Ed. par
HUOT. Paris, 1836.

Vol. i. (pp. 551 _seqq._) contains a section on Polo, neither good nor correct.

34. DE MONTÉMONT, ALBERT. _Bibliothèque Universelle des voyages_.

In vol. xxxi. pp. 33–51 there is a Notice of Marco Polo.

35. PALGRAVE, Sir FRANCIS. _The Merchant and the Friar_. London, 1837.

The Merchant is Marco Polo, who is supposed to visit England, after his return from the East, and to become acquainted with the Friar Roger Bacon. The book consists chiefly of their conversations on many subjects.

It does not affect the merits of this interesting book that Bacon is believed to have died in 1292, some years before Marco’s return from the East.

36. D’AVEZAC, M. Remarks in his most valuable _Notice sur les Anciens
Voyages de Tartarie, &c._, in the _Recueil de Voyages et de
Mémoires publié par la Société de Géographie_, tom. iv. pp. 407
_seqq._ Paris, 1839. Also article in the _Bulletin de la Soc. de

21, p. 45.

39. QUATREMÈRE, ÉTIENNE. His translations and other works on Oriental
subjects abound in valuable indirect illustrations of M. Polo;
but in _Notices et Extraits des MSS. de la Bibliothèque du
Roi_, tom. xvi. Pt. i. pp. 281–286, Paris, 1843, there are some
excellent remarks both on the work itself and on Marsden’s
Edition of it.

40. MACFARLANE, CHARLES. _Romance of Travel_. London, C. Knight. 1846.

A good deal of intelligent talk on Marco Polo.

41. MEYER, ERNST H. F. _Geschichte der Botanik_. Königsberg, 1854–57.

In vol. iv, there is a special chapter on Marco Polo’s notices of plants.

the _Journal Asiatique_. I have frequently quoted this with
advantage, and sometimes have ventured to dissent from it.

dell’Uccello_ RUC _da lui menzionato._ 2 parts large 8vo.
Bologna, 1862 and 1868, pp. 64, 40.

A meritorious essay, containing good remarks on the comparison of different Texts.

48. KINGSLEY, HENRY. _Tales of Old Travel renarrated_. London, 1869.

This begins with Marco Polo. The work has gone through several editions, but I do not know whether the author has corrected some rather eccentric geography and history that were presented in the first. Mr. Kingsley is the author of another story about Marco Polo in a Magazine, but I cannot recover the reference.

49. NOTES AND QUERIES for CHINA AND JAPAN. This was published from
January, 1867, to November, 1870, at Hong-Kong under able
editorship, and contained some valuable notes connected with
Marco Polo’s chapters on China.

with 3 photog.).

57. WHEELER, J. TALBOYS. _History of India_ (vol. iii. pp. 385–393)
contains a résumé of, and running comment on, Marco Polo’s
notices of India.

Mr. Wheeler’s book says; “His travels appear _to have been written_ at Comorin, the most southerly point of India” (p. 385). The words that I have put in Italics are evidently a misprint, though it is not clear how to correct them.

58. DE SKATTSCHKOFF, CONSTANTIN. _Le Vénitien_ Marco Polo, _et les
services qu’il a rendus en faisant connaître l’Asie_. Read before
the _Imp. Geog. Society_ at St. Petersburg, ⁶⁄₁₈ October, 1865;
translated by M. Emile Durand in the _Journ. Asiatique_, sér.
VII. tom. iv. pp. 122–158 (September, 1874).

The Author expresses his conviction that Marco Polo had described a number of localities after Chinese written authorities; for in the old Chinese descriptions of India and other transmarine countries are found precisely the same pieces of information, neither more nor fewer, that are given by Marco Polo. Though proof of this would not be proof of the writer’s deduction that Marco Polo was acquainted with the Chinese language, it would be very interesting in itself, and would explain some points to which we have alluded (_e.g._, in reference to the frankincense plant, p. 396, and to the confusion between Madagascar and Makdashau, p. 413). And Mr. G. Phillips has urged something of the same kind. But M. de Skattschkoff adduces no proof at all; and for the rest his Essay is full of inaccuracy.

Translated into English by A. Wylie and E. Bretschneider. The Russian text has just been published (T. xxxviii. 1902, of the _Isviestiya_) by the Imp. Russian Geog. Society.

Sir Henry Yule wrote in the _Addenda_ of the second edition:

“And I learn from a kind Russian correspondent, that an early number of the _J. N. China Branch R. Asiatic Society_ will contain a more important paper, viz.: _Remarks on Marco Polo’s Travels to the North of China, derived from Chinese Sources; by the_ ARCHIMANDRITE PALLADIUS. This celebrated traveller and scholar says (as I am informed): ‘I have followed up the indications of Marco Polo from Lobnor to Shangdu, and in part to Peking.... It would seem that I have been so fortunate as to clear up the points that remained obscure to Yule.’ I deeply regret that my book cannot now profit by these promised remarks. I am not, however, without hope, that in the present edition, with its Appendices, some at least of the Venerable Traveller’s identifications may have been anticipated.”

The greater part of the notes of my late friend, the Archimandrite Palladius Katharov, have been incorporated in the present edition of Marco Polo.—H. C.
