[Document dated 15th May, 1388, found at the Archives degli Esposti, now at the Archivio di Stato, by the Ab.  Cav.  V. Zanetti, containing a sentence of the Giudici della Curia del Procuratore in favour of Pietro Bragadin against Agnesina, sister, and Catarinuzza, widow of Matteo Polo di S. Giovanni Grisostomo, for work done.  This document is interesting, as it shows that this Matteo was a son of Marcolino.  Published partly in the Archivio Veneto, XVI., 1878, pp. 102-103.—­H.C.]

[1] For this and for all the other documents marked with an ‘’ I am under
    obligation to Comm.  Berchet.  There is some doubt if this refers to our
    Marco Polo. (See vol. i. p. 66.)

[2] For the indication of this I was indebted to Professor Minotto.

[3] This perhaps indicates that Marco’s half-brother Giovannino was in
    partnership with him.

[4] This is printed line for line with the original; it was printed in the
    first edition, ii. pp. 440-441, but was omitted in the second.  The
    translation is given in the Introductory Essay, vol. i. pp. 70-73,
    seqq.; with a facsimile.

[5] I.e., 9th January, 1324.

[6] This was printed in the First Edition (ii. p 442), but was omitted in
    the Second.

[7] About 300_l._ sterling.

[8] For this I was indebted to Comm.  Barozzi.
