dc.description.abstract

In August 1307, Marco Polo gave a French aristocrat, Thibaut de Chepoy, who was in Venice for a diplomatic mission, a copy of the Devisement dou monde and on his return (1310), he engaged in improving the French version on Rustichello’s endeavour and had it copied several times (evidence of this dates back to 1312). The copies of this ʻFrench versionʼ possess some common characteristics: they were commissioned by members of the aristocracy in typically large volumes, in parchment, and in some cases illustrated by a series of miniatures. Four of the manuscripts display the set of images that can be seen in the exhibition.
