First published in 1931. None of the manuscripts which have come
down to us represent the original form of Marco Polo's narrative,
but it is clear that certain texts are closer to the lost original
than others. Entrusted with the task of preparing a new Italian
edition of Marco Polo, Benedetto discovered many unknown
manuscripts. He carefully edited the most famous of the manuscripts
(the Geographic text) and collated it with the other best known
ones.
- An invaluable index has been added to Aldo Ricci's of
Benedetto's text, which includes all the identifications made in
the Geographic text and also later editions by Marsden (1818),
Pauthier (1865) and Yule (1871).
- The difficulty of following Polo on his many journeys has also
been simplified by the process of distinguishing between those
places on his main route to China and his return journey by sea to
Persia and those places which he visited during his stay in China
and those he never visited at all.
