12.  LESSING. Marco Polo, aus einer Handschrift ergaenzt, und aus einer andern sehr zu verbessern:  (Zur Geschichte und Litteratur ... von G.E.  Lessing.  II. Beytrag.  Braunschweig, 1773, 8vo, pp. 259-298.)

14.  SPRENGEL, MATHIAS CHRISTIAN. Geschichte der wichtigsten geographischen Entdeckungen &c. 2nd Ed. Halle, 1792.

This book, which is a marvel for the quantity of interesting matter which it contains in small space, has much about Polo.

15.  ZURLA, Abate PLACIDO.  Life of Polo, in Collezione di Vite e Ritratti d’Illustri Italiani.  Padova, 1816.

This book is said to have procured a Cardinal’s Hat for the author.  It is a respectable book, and Zurla’s exertions in behalf of the credit of his countrymen are greatly to be commended, though the reward seems inappropriate.

Klaproth speaks more than once as if he had a complete Commentary on Marco Polo prepared or in preparation (e.g., see J.  As., ser. i. tom. iv. p. 380).  But the examination of his papers after his death produced little or nothing of this kind.—­[Cf. supra, p. 573.]
