Volume 33 | Edited book | Pratiche di scrittura e contesti culturali intorno a Marco Polo
Abstract
This volume, in ten chapters, interrogates the relationship between Marco Polo, Venice and the Devisement dou monde after his return to the city from Genoese captivity. Since Marco’s book was probably revised and corrected in collaboration with the Dominicans of SS. Giovanni e Paolo, the authors of the chapters seek to define more precisely the cultural framework that made this revision possible and the social and political networks that contributed to it. The early fourteenth century is characterised by major transformations for the city and its protagonists. The connection of these elements into a unified landscape allowed for numerous acquisitions and a new vision.
