We read on the verso of the title-page:  “Photolithographie par l’Institut lithographique de l’Etat-Major—­Typographie par l’Imprimerie centrale—­Stockholm, 1882.”—­We learn from the preface by the celebrated A.E.  Nordenskioeld, that 200 copies, two of which on parchment have been printed.  In the preface is printed a letter, Paris, 22nd Nov. 1881, written by M. Leopold Delisle, which shows that the Stockholm MS. belonged to the library of the King of France, Charles V. (who had five copies of Polo’s Book) and had No. 317 in the Inventory of 1411; it belonged to the Louvre, to Solier of Honfleur, to Paul Petau when it was purchased by King Christina.
