The Book of Ser Marco Polo : vol.2 |
Citation Information
OCR Text
1845. Bürck's German Version, Leipzig. It is translated from Ramusio, with
copious notes, chiefly derived from Marsden and Ritter. There are some
notes at the end added by the late Karl Friedrich Neumann, but as a whole
these are disappointing.
1847. Lazari's Italian edition was prepared at the expense of the late Senator L.
Pasini, in commemoration of the meeting of the Italian Scientific Congress
at Venice in that year, to the members of which it was presented. It is a
creditable work, but too hastily got up.
1854. Mr. T. Wright prepared an edition for Bohn's Antiq. Library. The notes
are in the main (and professedly) abridged from Marsden's, whose text is
generally followed, but with the addition of the historical chapters, and a
few other modifications from the Geographic Text.
1854-57. Voyageurs Anciens et Modernes, &c. Par M. Ed. Charton. Paris.
An interesting and creditable popular work. Vol. ii. contains Marco Polo,
with many illustrations, including copies from miniatures in the Livre des
Merveilles. (See list in App. F. p. 528.)
1863. Signor Adolfo Bartoli reprinted the Crusca MS. from the original, making
a careful comparison with the Geographic Text. He has prefixed a valuable
and accurate Essay on Marco Polo and the Literary History of his Book,
by which I have profited.
1865. M. Pauthier's learned edition.
1871. First edition of the present work.
1873. First publication of Marco Polo in Russian.
1875. Second edition of this work.
1882. Facsimile of the French Stockholm MS. by Baron A. E. Nordenskiöld.
