6
 British Museum Library Sloane MSS., No. 251 Italian dialect Paper, small fol. 39 ff. A good deal abridged, and in a desperately difficult handwriting; but notable as being the only MS. besides the Geog. Text which contains the war of Toctai and Nogai at the end of the Book. It does not, however, contain the majority of the historical chapters forming our Book IV.
At the end, f. 39 v., is “Esplizzit Liber Milionis Ziuis Veneziani Questo libro scrissi Saluador Paxuti (?) del=1457 a viazo di Baruti [Patron Misser Cabual Volanesso, chapit. Misser Polo Barbarigo].” (The latter words [in part.—H. C.] from Marsden; being to me illegible).

 Oxford Bodleian, No. 264 French This is bound up with the celebrated Alexander MS. It is a beautiful work, embellished with thirty-eight miniatures, some of which are exquisite, e.g., the Frontispiece, a large piece of about 9½ in. × 9 in., forming a sort of condensed view of the Field of Travel; a large part of it occupied by Venice, of which our cut (The Piazzetta) in vol. i., p. 18, Introduction, is an extract. Another fine work (f. 220) represents the three Polos presenting the Pope’s Letter to the Khan. The embroidered hands on the Khan’s robe form an inscription, in which is legible “Johannes me fecit.” This Mr. Coxe attributes to John of Cologne, a known artist of the 14th century. He considers the MS. to be of about 1380. The Alexander is dated 1338, and its illuminations as finished in 1344 by Jehan de Grise. [See supra, p. 528, note.]
A comparison of a good many readings, as well as of the point where the version breaks off, and the words: “Explicit le Livre nommé du Grant Cann de la Graunt Cité de Cambaluc, Dieux ayde Amen,” indicate that this MS. is of the same type as Pauthier’s C (No. 20 in this List) and the Bern. MS. (No 63).
The name given in the colophon as above has caused the work to be entered in the old Printed Catalogue under a wrong title. Hence the MS., as one of Marco Polo, has been overlooked.

 Paris Bib. nationale, No. 7367 (now Fr. 1116) French This is the most precious of all MSS. of Polo. It has been fully spoken of (vol. i., Int., The Old French Text) under the name of the Geographic Text (or G. T.), because it was printed by the Société de Géographie in 1824. [See I, p. 83]
A large 4to of thick parchment; 112 ff.; very clearly though not very neatly written in Gothic text.—14th century.
A facsimile of this MS. has been made this year (1902) at Karlsruhe. (See App. H. p. 569.)

 Paris Bib. nationale, No. 8329 (now Fr. 2810) French “Ce Liure est des // Merueilles du Monde. Cest assavoir de la Terre // Saincte. Du Grant Kaan Empereur des tartars. // Et du pays Dynde.

Signed by N. Flamel.
Then follows.
1° Marco Polo: “Cy après commence le liure de Marc Paule des merveilles daise la grant et dinde la maiour et mineur Et des diuerses regions du monde.”—Begins: “Pour sauoir la pure verite de diuerses regions du monde. Si prenez ce liure cy et le faictes lire. Si y trouuerez les grandismes merueilles qui y sont escriptes....”
Ends (Fol. 96 verso): “Et a tant fine messire marc pol son liure de la diuision du monde et des merueilles dicelluy.”
Of the 266 histoires or miniatures in this splendid book, 84 belong to the story of Polo. We have given engravings of several of them. Its value is estimated in the catalogue of the Library of the Duc de Berry in 1416 (quoted by Pauthier) at 125 livres, equivalent (if parisis) to about 115l. This is Pauthier’s MS. B. See vol. i., Int., Various Types of the Text.
Large folio on vellum.

 Paris Bib. Nationale, No. 10260 (now Fr. 5631) French “Ci commencent les rebriches de cest Livre qui est appelez le Deuisement du Monde, lequel je Grigoires contrefais du Livre de Messire Marc Pol le meilleur citoien de Venisse creant Crist.”
At the beginning of the Text is a coarse drawing of Kúblái on his bretesche, carried by four elephants (vol. i., p. 337); and after the prologue another apparently representing the Princess Aijaruc wrestling with her wooer (vol. ii. p. 465).
This is Pauthier’s MS. A. (vol. i, Int., Various Types of the Text), and also was in the Duc de Berry’s Library, valued at 6 livres 5 sols. [Second half of the 14th cent.].
*
20
 Paris Bib. nationale, No. 10,270 (now Fr. 5649) French This is Pauthier’s MS. C. (See as before.) It is that which has the certificate about the original presented to the Seigneur de Cepoy; see Int., p. 69.
At the end is Bertran Pichart scripsit hoc. Small 4to, parchment, in a clear enough half-current hand; 134 ff.
Came from the library of the Archb. of Rheims. [Middle of the 15th century.]

21
 Paris Bib. nationale (675)? French I know nothing of this MS. except its readings of names given in the Table appended to the Geographic Text. It then belonged to the Comte d’Artois. Lazari has it entered as belonging to the Bibl. Imp., I know not if correctly. [I have been unable to find it in the Bibliothèque nationale.—H. C.] See preceding column.
22
 Paris Bib. nationale, Fr. nouv. acq. 1880 French This is a copy of the time of King Louis XII., made apparently for Admiral Louis Malet de Graville, Governor of Honfleur, who died in 1516; it bears the arms of the Urfé family; it is at times modernized, but less is suppressed in it than in MSS. 5631 and 2810. The MS. ends: “Et se aucuns disoint qui a luy ...” about the middle of ch. cxcix. of Pauthier’s ed., p. 738, line 4. These are also the last words of the Stockholm MS. of which it is a copy.
Purchased in 1870.

 Florence Bib. Magliabecchiana (now Nazionale), Cl. XIII., Plut. IV. c. 73 Italian Many liberties taken with the text, and much abridged and disarranged. Thus, after the Prologue it proceeds: “Al nome di Dio io Marcho Polo Veneziano racconterò tutte le maravigliose chose ch’io trovai e vidi, etc. etc.” It ends at the chapter on Russia with the following impertinence: “E se volete sapere più innanzi dimandatene un altro ch’io Marcho Polo non cercai più avanti.” The Khalif is called Largaliffe; Reobarles, Reubarbe, with a marginal note in an old hand, “Reubarbe città di Persia, donde viene il reubarbero herba medicinale.” Completed by Dolfo Spini, 16th July, 1425.

 Siena Public Library, c. V. 14 Italian This is a miscellaneous MS. which, among other things, contains a fragment of Polo, “Qui comīcio ellibro di Missere Mācho Polo da Vinegia de le cose māuiglose che trovo p̄ lo mondo,” etc. It calls Rusticiano Missere Stacio da Pisa.—N.B.—Baldelli gives a very similar description of a fragment at Sienna, but under press mark A.

 Bern Canton Library, No. 125 French I have examined this MS. minutely, and am satisfied that it is a copy of Pauthier’s C. i.e., No. 20, in our List. Like that (and no other), it bears the certificate regarding the Seigneur de Cepoy. (Vol. i., Int., Notices of Marco in later life.) The MS. is fully described in Sinner’s Catalogue. It is in very beautiful condition, very clearly written on parchment, with all the initials filled up in gold and colours, and with numerous flowered scrolls.
It belonged to Bongars, whose autograph is on it: “Bongars—l’a de la courtoisie de Mr. de Superville.”

 Stockholm Royal Library, French, No. 37 French This MS., published in facsimile by Baron A. E. Nordenskiöld, belongs to the “Cepoy” type of MSS. Yule wrote in The Athenæum (17th June, 1882): “I gather that it has been produced by partial abridgement from one of the earlier MSS. of the type in question.” And again (p. 766): “It will be seen that though the publication is a beautiful example of facsimile, it contributes, as far as I have been able to examine it, nothing to the amelioration or elucidation of the text or narrative.”
The changes and suppressions are much less considerable than in the Paris MSS., 5631 and 2810. Cf L. Delisle, Bib. de l’Ecole des Chartes, XLIII., 1882, pp. 226–235, 424.
It is incomplete, and ends: “Et se aucuns disoit quí a luí.”—Cf. Paris MS., 1880. [Our No. 22.]
It belonged to the Library of the French King, Charles V. (1364–1380), and later, as marked on the recto of the last folio, “Pour Symon du Solier demorant à Honnefleu,” who was “procureur-syndic des manants et habitants de la ville de Honfleur.”
