In "Marco Polo was in China" Hans Ulrich Vogel offers an innovative
look at the highly complex topics of currencies, salt production
and taxes, commercial levies and other kinds of revenue as well as
the administrative geography of the Mongol Yuan empire. The author
s rigorous analysis of Chinese sources and all the important Marco
Polo manuscripts as well as his thorough scrutiny of Japanese,
Chinese and Western scholarship show that the fascinating
information contained in "Le devisament dou monde" agrees almost
pefectly with that we find in Chinese sources, the latter only
available long after Marco Polo s stay in China. Hence, the author
concludes that, despite the doubts that have been raised, the
Venetian was indeed in Khubilai Khan s realm.
