Resum

The Latin translation of Marco Polo's Devisement du monde by the Dominican friar Francesco Pipino is attested at an early date in England. Twelve English manuscripts of this version survive, to which two others, not written in England, but probably made from an English exemplar, can be associated. A collation of these manuscripts shows that there exists an English group, with specific features. Sub-groups are identified and classified. The reception of the text in England also has particularities, mainly related to theological and historical books. Cross-analysis of the textual tradition and the study of the reception leads to hypotheses about how and when Marco Polo's book came to England and who may have been the bearer of the text.
