Beasts there are none; for there is nought for them to eat

Filed under: explorers — chris @ 4:44 pm

Beasts there are none; for there is nought for them to eat. But there is a
marvellous thing related of this Desert, which is that when travellers are
on the move by night, and one of them chances to lag behind or to fall
asleep or the like, when he tries to gain his company again he will hear
spirits talking, and will suppose them to be his comrades. Sometimes the
spirits will call him by name; and thus shall a traveller ofttimes be led
astray so that he never finds his party. And in this way many have
perished. [Sometimes the stray travellers will hear as it were the tramp
and hum of a great cavalcade of people away from the real line of road,
and taking this to be their own company they will follow the sound; and
when day breaks they find that a cheat has been put on them and that they
are in an ill plight.[NOTE 2]] Even in the day-time one hears those
spirits talking. And sometimes you shall hear the sound of a variety of
musical instruments, and still more commonly the sound of drums. [Hence in
making this journey “tis customary for travellers to keep close together.
All the animals too have bells at their necks, so that they cannot easily
get astray. And at sleeping-time a signal is put up to show the direction
of the next march.]

After they had passed the desert, they arrived at a very great and noble
city called BOCARA, the territory of which belonged to a king whose name
was Barac, and is also called Bocara. The city is the best in all
Persia.[NOTE 1] And when they had got thither, they found they could
neither proceed further forward nor yet turn back again; wherefore they
abode in that city of Bocara for three years. And whilst they were
sojourning in that city, there came from Alau, Lord of the Levant, Envoys
on their way to the Court of the Great Kaan, the Lord of all the Tartars
in the world. And when the Envoys beheld the Two Brothers they were
amazed, for they had never before seen Latins in that part of the world.
And they said to the Brothers: ‘Gentlemen, if ye will take our counsel, ye
will find great honour and profit shall come thereof.’ So they replied
that they would be right glad to learn how. ‘In truth,’ said the Envoys,
‘the Great Kaan hath never seen any Latins, and he hath a great desire so
to do. Wherefore, if ye will keep us company to his Court, ye may depend
upon it that he will be right glad to see you, and will treat you with
great honour and liberality; whilst in our company ye shall travel with
perfect security, and need fear to be molested by nobody.’[NOTE 2]

NOTE 4

Filed under: explorers — chris @ 4:44 am

NOTE 4.–This is a highly interesting passage, but difficult, from being
corrupt in the G. Text, and over-curt in Pauthier”s MSS. In the former it
runs as follows: ‘_Hil hi a une jenerasion de jens que sunt appells_
Argon, _qe vaut ?dire en franois_ Guasmul, _ce est ?dire qu”il sunt n?
del deus generasions de la lengne des celz_ Argon Tenduc et des celz
reduc et des celz que aorent Maomet. _Il sunt biaus homes plus que le
autre dou pas et plus sajes et plus mercaant_.’ Pauthier”s text runs
thus: ‘_Il ont une generation de gens, ces Crestiens qui ont la
Seigneurie, qui s”appellent_ Argon, _qui vaut a dire_ Gasmul; _et sont
plus beaux hommes que les autres mescreans et plus sages. Et pour ce ont
il la seigneurie et sont bons marchans._’ And Ramusio: ‘_Vi ?anche una
sorte di gente che si chiamano_ Argon, _per che sono nati di due
generazioni_, cio?da quella di Tenduc che adorano gl” idoli, e da quella
che osservano la legge di Macometto. _E questi sono i piu belli uomini che
si trovino in quel paese e pi?savi, e pi?accorti nella mercanzia._’

Pauthier”s text (which I have corrected by the G. T.), after describing
the _outer inclosure_ to be a _mile every way_, says that the inner
inclosure lay at _an interval of a mile within it!_

NOTE 8

Filed under: explorers — chris @ 10:44 pm

NOTE 8.–The Caspian is termed by Vincent of Beauvais _Mare Seruanicum_,
the Sea of Shirwan, another of its numerous Oriental names, rendered by
Marino Sanuto as _Mare Salvanicum_. (III. xi. ch. ix.) But it was
generally known to the Franks in the Middle Ages as the SEA OF BACU. Thus

NOTE 1

Filed under: explorers — chris @ 8:44 pm

NOTE 1.–The French texts read _Clemeinfu_, Ramusio _Clemenfu_. The Pucci
MS. guides us to the correct reading, having _Chemensu_ (_Kemensu_) for
_Chemenfu_. KAIPINGFU, meaning something like ‘City of Peace,’ and called
by Rashiduddin _Kaiminfu_ (whereby we see that Polo as usual adopted the
Persian form of the name), was a city founded in 1256, four years before
Kublai”s accession, some distance to the north of the Chinese wall. It
became Kublai”s favourite summer residence, and was styled from 1264
_Shangtu_ or ‘Upper Court.’ (See infra, Bk. I. ch. lxi.) It was known to
the Mongols, apparently by a combination of the two names, as _Shangdu
Keibung_. It appears in D”Anville”s map under the name of _Djao-Naiman
Sum_. Dr. Bushell, who visited Shangtu in 1872, makes it 1103 _li_ (367
miles) by road distance vi?Kalgan from Peking. The busy town of Dolonnr
lies 26 miles S.E. of it, and according to Kiepert”s _Asia_ that place is
about 180 miles in a direct line north of Peking.

NOTE 1.–The deceased Pope”s name is omitted both in the Geog. Text and in
Pauthier”s, clearly because neither Rusticiano nor Polo remembered it. It
is supplied correctly in the Crusca Italian as _Clement_, and in Ramusio
as _Clement IV._

And when the appointed day was come, all the Christians got up early, men
and women, small and great, more than 100,000 persons, and went to church,
and heard the Holy Mass. And after Mass had been sung, they all went forth
together in a great procession to the plain in front of the mountain,
carrying the precious cross before them, loudly singing and greatly
weeping as they went. And when they arrived at the spot, there they found
the Calif with all his Saracen host armed to slay them if they would not
change their faith; for the Saracens believed not in the least that God
would grant such favour to the Christians. These latter stood indeed in
great fear and doubt, but nevertheless they rested their hope on their God
Jesus Christ.
