Synopsis:

As indicated by the title, this monograph (which is also included in Bibliofilia Antigua III) studies and translates the 1496 Venetian edition of Marco Polo’s book, De le meravegliose cose del mondo. This has been co-published with Patrimonio Nacional.

The incunabula: Incunabula printed in Venice, by the printer and bookseller Giovanni Battista Sessa, 13th June 1496, which offers the first Italian edition of the famous voyage of Marco Polo.

The Biblioteca del Palacio Real de Madrid zealously guards this incunabulum of enormous worth, originating from the library of the Count of Gondomar. It has the great transcendence due to the fact it is the only known copy in Spain.
