Notes on Marco Polo : vol.2 |
Citation Information
OCR Text
Uzzano, I have found « leggi » in Pegolotti (Evans, 298), and in a manuscript quoted by Pagnini
himself, Della decima, ii, 117, 118, 120.
Ramusio's Persian informant, « Chaggi Memet », was a native of Gilān (« nativo della provencia
di Chilān, appresso al mare Caspio »); cf. Y¹, i, 290; Ramusio, in his Dichiaratione, 14 b.
Polo nowhere states that his Sea of Baku, or of Jīl or Gilān, is the same as what he calls Sea
of Sarai (see « Sarai ») at the end of his book; perhaps he was not altogether conscious of their identity,
and Rusticello was certainly not.
Polo speaks of the recent Genoese raiding expedition on the Caspian Sea, and Yule has quoted
(Cathay², ii, 105) a remarkable text relating to a later Genoese buccaneering feat of 1274. There
are other instances. Josafa Barbaro mentions (Ramusio, ii, 92) a similar raid in 1428, but this
time by the Venetians.
On Gilān, cf. LS, 173-175; Mi, 388.

Charignon (Ch, iii, 100) is right in seeing here 衢 州 Ch'ü-chou, a name which goes back
to T'ang times and has remained in use until now. Ch'ü-chou was on the regular postal road of
the time.
