Book excerpt: Marco Polo The Description of the World Volume II as Transcribed in the Original Latin by A. C. Moule and Paul Pelliot This is by far the most complete and most authoritative transcription of the work of Marco Polo (1254-1324). It was discovered in the Cathedral de Toledo in Spain. It bears the date M.CC.XCVIII, which is 1298. In that year, Marco Polo was a prisoner in Genoa. He dictated his description of the world to a fellow prisoner, Rustichello da Pisa. It was then translated from the language of the common tongue into Latin by Francis Pipino of Bologna of the Order of Brothers Preachers. Francis Pipino explains that the need for this translation is that Latin is more widely understood than the common spoken tongue and the common tongue is offensive to some. He further states that he has personally spoken to the father of Marco Polo and has confirmed the accuracy of what is written here. Francis Pipino also states that when the Uncle of Marco Polo was at the point of death, he was asked by his confessor if the statements in this manuscript were true. He replied that they were true. This confession at the point of death just prior to his meeting with God is regarded as proof of the accuracy of the statements in this book. This translation into Latin was written during the lifetime of Marco Polo by a man who personally knew him and must be regarded as most authoritative. It is important to study this Latin original text, even among those of us who do not know Latin. This is because we need to know for sure exactly the names of the places where Marco Polo visited. Although many places retain their original names, some times a place has been named because that is the name given to it by Marco Polo.

Download or read book Marco Polo the Description of the World A C Moule and Paul Pelliot written by Marco Polo and published by . This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is by far the most complete and most authoritative translation of the work of Marco Polo (1254-1324). It is based on a manuscript found by Sir Percival David (1892-1964) in the Catedral de Toledo in Spain where it had lain forgotten for 130 years. That manuscript was a copy written in 1795 and was in turn based on a manuscript written in about 1400. The manuscript in Cathedral de Toledo is in Latin. Arthur Christopher Moule (1873-1957) painstakingly transcribed it into type written text. He was so careful to be faithful to the original that he even transcribed meaningless punctuation marks. The Latin text was published as Volume 2 in 1935, even though it was published first. Volume One followed three years later and was published in 1938. After first publishing the Latin original, A. C. Moule went to work translating the Latin into English. Here he gives credit to his predecessors, Giovanni Battista Ramusio (1485-1557) and Sir Henry Yule (1820-1899). Yule's work was published by his daughter in 1903. A. C. Moule was gratified when his translations often came out the same as theirs. A. C. Moule took 17 different versions of the Marco Polo manuscripts. He then combined them into one document by putting into italics those words that are not found in the other versions. Then, on the outside margins and sometimes in the footnotes, he uses a code to show where and in which version the words in italics can be found. He was careful to note the differences. Every word that is different from the words of Ramusio or Yule is put in italics. In addition, there is a chart showing where the page numbers to this work are different from the page numbers of the other translations. Thus, a reader looking at a page of this book can quickly find the equivalent page in the Yule work.

Download or read book Did Marco Polo Go to China written by Frances Wood and published by Harvill Secker. This book was released on 1995 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marco Polo's book The Description of the World is one of the classics of medieval literature, describing his epic journey to China and subsequent return to Italy. He has become a cultural icon bridging East and West, his name known by adults and children alike. Frances Wood's fascinating piece of historical detective work, marking the 700th anniversary of Polo's journey, questions whether the explorer ever reached the country he so vividly described. Why, within his romantic and detailed account, is there no mention of such fundamental aspects of Chinese life as tea or foot-binding, or even the Great Wall? Did Polo really bring noodles and ice-cream back to Italy? And why is there no record of the Polo family in China itself?
