Abstract

This study aims to present a collection of excerpts taken from the Devisement dou monde; the sylloge is transcribed by Bartolomeo Ceffoni on the ending folios of ms. Ricc. 1036 (Florence, Riccardian Library). Ceffoni’s excerpts represent an episode of the late circulation of Marco Polo’s work in the merchant class in the fifteenth-century Tuscany.
