Notes

I lost a Learned League quiz question on this because I didn't know that in Italian this book is referred to as Il Milione. I won't forget it now!

I do love a boisterous Italian bumping his way around the world. I finally read this because I love the contact stories where Europeans meet the Mongols, and how impressed they are.
