(II.) THE POLOS OF SAN GEREMIA.

The preceding Table gives the Family of our Traveller as far as I have seen sound data for tracing it, either upwards or downwards.

I have expressed, in the introductory notices, my doubts about the Venetian genealogies, which continue the family down to 1418 or 19, because it seems to me certain that all of them do more or less confound with our Polos of S. Giovanni Grisostomo, members of the other Polo Family of S. Geremia.  It will help to disentangle the subject if we put down what is ascertained regarding the S. Geremia family.

To the latter with tolerable certainty belonged the following:—­

1302.  MARCO Polo of Cannareggio, see vol. i. pp. 64-67. (The Church
      of S. Geremia stands on the canal called Cannareggio.)

      Already in 1224, we find a Marco Polo of S. Geremia and Cannareggio. 
      (See Liber Plegiorum, published with Archivio Veneto, 1872 pp.
      32, 36).

1319. (Bianca, widow of GIOVANNI Polo?)[1]

1332. 24th March.  Concession, apparently of some privilege in connection
      with the State Lake in San Basilio, to DONATO and HERMORAO
      (= Hermolaus or Almoro) Paulo (Document partially illegible).[2]

1333. 23rd October.  Will of Marchesina Corner, wife of Marino Gradenigo of
      S. Apollinare, who chooses for her executors “my mother Dona
      Fiordelisa Cornaro, and my uncle (Barba) Ser Marco Polo."[3]
      Another extract apparently of the same will mentions “mia cusina
      MARIA Polo,” and “mio cusin MARCO Polo” three times.[4]

1349.  MARINO Polo and Brothers.[5]
