Sloane MSS., No. 251
Italian dialect.

Paper, small fol. 39 ff.  A good deal abridged, and in a desperately difficult handwriting; but notable as being the only MS. besides the Geog.  Text which contains the war of Toctai and Nogai at the end of the Book.  It does not, however, contain the majority of the historical chapters forming our Book IV.

At the f. 39 v., is “Esplizzit Liber Milionis Ziuis Veneziani Questo libro scrissi Saluador Paxuti(?) del=1457 a viazo di Baruti [Patron Misser Cabual Volanesso, chapit.  Misser Polo Barbarigo].” (The latter words [in part.—­H.C.] from Marsden; being to me illegible).
