C.—ITALIAN EDITIONS.

14.—1. Marco Polo da Venie ‖ sia de le merauegliose ‖ cose del Mondo.

Below this title the mark of the printer Sessa : a cat holding a mouse in its
mouth with the initials I and B on the right and on the left of the coat of arms (with
a ducal crown above) which exhibits this group, and S at foot. Verso of f. 83 :

Finisse lo libro de Marco Polo da Venie ‖ sia dele merauegliose cose del môdo
Im‖presso in Venetia per zoanne Baptista ‖ da Sessa Milanese del
M. cccc.xcvi. ‖ adi. xiii. del mese de Iunio regnâ ‖ do lo Illustr-
issimo Principe Au‖ gustino Barbadico inclyto ‖ Duce di Venetia.

Recto of folio 84 : "Registro. a b c d e f g h i k l Tutti questi sono quaderni
excepto l chie duerno" ; audessons le monogramme de l'imprimeur en blanc sur fond
noir. —Verso of folio 84 is blank.
The copy which I have examined is in the Grenville Library, No. 6666. It is in
fine condition and complete, notwithstanding what the Sobolewski Sale Catalogue
says to the contrary (No. 1730) : it is a small 8vo ff. 84 ; each quire containing, as
is indicated by the register, eight sheets, except quire l, which has but four.
Grenville added to his copy the following note : "This appears to be the first
edition printed in the original Italian. — The Abbé Morelli who sent me this book
from Venice had found great difficulty in procuring a copy for the Library of St.
Marc. — Panzer III. 396, refers only to the mention made of it by Denis. Supp.
I, p° 415. I know of no other copy in England. "
Lazari, p. 460, says : "Prima e rarissima edizione del compendio veneziano. Un
capitolo che parla di Trebisonda, tratto dal viaggio di Fr. Odorico, precede il testo
del Polo mutilo e scorrettissimo : quel capitolo non forma però parte d'esso, come
nelle molte ristampe di questo compendio."
