| Meer info | - This is a comprehensive english translation and commentary on the travels of Marco Polo, first published in 1871 by the Scottish Orientalist and geographer, Sir Henry Yule (1820-1889). The third edition, revised and expanded in 1903, includes significant contributions from French sinologist Henri Cordier (1849-1925), who provided additional notes and a supplement reflecting recent discoveries up to that time. This seminal work is divided into multiple volumes, meticulously detailing Marco Polo's journeys across Asia between 1271 and 1295. It offers rich descriptions of the cultures, economies, and geographies of various regions, including Persia, China, and the Mongol Empire. Yule's extensive footnotes and Cordier's supplementary material provide historical context, clarifications, and updates based on contemporary research, enhancing the reader's understanding of the medieval world as seen through Polo's eyes. Upon its initial release, Yule's translation was lauded for its scholarly rigor and accessibility, becoming a foundational text for those studying the history and geography of the Far East. The third edition's incorporation of Cordier's updates ensured the work remained relevant |
