It is certain from the use of the signatures a, aa, a, and the similitude of the type of the three works, that the Mandeville, the Ludolphe, and the Marco Polo come from the same printing office, and have been printed together as it seems to be proved by the copy of the Sunderland Library, which was complete and contained the three works.

Lazari, p. 460, writes:  “Jo. de Mandeville itineraria:  Dom.  Ludolph. de itinere ad Terrain Sanctam:  M. Paul.  Venet. de regionibus orientalibus.  Liber rariss.  Zwollis, 1483, in-4.

“Leggiamo questa nota nell’ opera Bibliotheca Beauclerkiana or Sale catalogue of the books of Topham Beauclerk’s Library, London, 1781, P. II., p. 15, n. 430.  Marsden pero ritiene celarsi sotto quell’erronea indicazione la seguente prima edizione [s.a., 4to] latina de’ viaggi di M. Polo.  Fgli istitui molte ricerche per rinvenire in Inghilterra quell’ esemplare, ma non gli e stato possibile di averne traccia.”
