British Museum Library
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).
