C.--ITALIAN EDITIONS.
14.--1. Marco Polo da Venie || sia de le merauegliose || cose del Mondo.
Below this t.i.tle 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 modo Im || presso in Venetia per zoanne Baptista || da Sessa Milanese del M. ccccxcvi. || adi. xiii. del mese de Iunio regna || do lo Ill.u.s.trissimo 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"; audessous 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 1, 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 Abbe 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'e 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 per parte d'esso, come nelle molte ristampe di questo compendio."
See _Odoric de Pordenone_, par Henri Cordier, p. 9.
