Text Appearing Before Image:
ing Jacopo dAcqui as authority ;and Libri (H. des Sciences MatlUmatiqties, II. 149), quoting Doglioni, HistoriaVeneziana. But neither authority bears out the citations. The story seems reallyto come from Amorettis commentary on the Voyage du Cap. L. F. Maldonado,Plaisance, 1812, p. 67. Amoretti quotes as authority Pignoria, Degli Dei Antichi. An odd revival of this old libel was mentioned to me recently by Mr. GeorgeMoffatt. When he was at school it was common among the boys to express incredulityby the phrase : Oh, what a Marco Polo ! t Thibault, according to Ducange, was in 1307 named Grand Master of theArblasteers of France ; and Buchon says his portrait is at Versailles among theAdmirals (No. 1170). Ramon de Muntaner fell in with the Seigneur de Cepoy inGreece, and speaks of him as but a Captain of the Wind, as his Master was Kingof the Wind. (See Ducange, H. de VEmpire de Const, sous les Emp. Francois,Venice ed. 1729, pp. 109, no; Buchon, C/ironiques Etrangires, pp. lv. 467-470.)

And the said SireMarc Pol, being a very honourable Person, of high character and respect inmany countries, because of his desire that what he had witnessed should beknown throughout the World, and also for the honour and reverence he boreto the most excellent and puissant Prince my Lord Charles, Son of theKing of France and Count of Valois, gave and presented to the aforesaidLord of Cepoy the first copy (that was taken) of his said Book after he hadmade the same. And very pleasing it was to him that his Book should becarried to the noble country of France and there made known by so wort
