CAPTIVITY OF MARCO POLO
55
The date I'ICCLXXXXVI assigned to it in the preceding extract
has given rise to some unprofitable discussion. Could that date
be accepted, no doubt it would enable us also to accept this, the
sole statement from the Traveller's own age of the circumstances
which brought him into a Genoese prison ; it would enable us to
place that imprisonment within a few months of his return from
the East, and to extend its duration to three years, points which
would thus accord better with the general tenor of Ramusio's
tradition than the capture of Curzola. But the matter is not
open to such a solution. The date of the Battle of Ayas is not
more doubtful than that of the Battle of the Nile. It is
clearly stated by several independent chroniclers, and is
carefully established in the Ballad that we have quoted above.*
We shall see repeatedly in the course of this Book how uncertain
are the transcriptions of dates in Roman numerals, and in the
present case the LXXXXVI is as certainly a mistake for LXXXXIV
as is Boniface VI. in the same quotation a mistake for
Boniface VIII.
But though we cannot accept the statement that Polo was
taken prisoner at Ayas, in the spring of 1294, we may accept the
passage as evidence from a contemporary source that he was
taken prisoner in some sea-fight with the Genoese, and thus admit
it in corroboration of the Ramusian Tradition of his capture in
a sea-fight at Curzola in 1298, which is perfectly consistent with
all other facts in our possession.
VII. RUSTICIANO OR RUSTICHELLO OF PISA, MARCO POLO'S FELLOW-
PRISONER AT GENOA, THE SCRIBE WHO WROTE DOWN THE TRAVELS.
38. We have now to say something of that Rusticiano to
whom all who value Polo's book are so much indebted.
The relations between Genoa and Pisa had long been so
