Italian.

This is a miscellaneous MS. which, among other things; contains a
fragment of Polo, "Qui comicio ellibro di Missere Macho Polo da Vinegia
de le cose maniglose che trovo p lo mondo," etc. It calls Rusticiano
_Missere Stacio da Pisa_.--N.B.--Baldelli gives a very similar
description of a fragment at Sienna, but under press mark A. IV. 8. I
assume that it is the same that I saw.
