21. Medieval Sourcebook: Marco Polo: The Glories Of Kinsay [Hangchow] (c. 1300) Excerpt from the book, still controversial, about the kingdoms of the East by this dubious but fertile model of modern Western travel writers. http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/polo-kinsay.html

Back to Medieval Source Book ORB Main Page Links to Other Medieval Sites Medieval Sourcebook: Marco Polo: The Glories Of Kinsay [Hangchow] (c. 1300) Marco Polo returned to Venice, his hometown, in 1295 after an absence of twenty-five years in the East. He claimed to have spent seventeen years in the service of Kublai Khan, ruler of the Mongols and of the largest empire in the world. He had many stories to tell. These stories were eventually written down by Rustichiello of Pisa, who heard them while sharing a Genoese prison with Polo, sometimes after 1298. Here is the account in the book of Hangchow, called "Kinsay". Although Kublai Khan's capital was in the north, at the city later called Beijing, Hanchow had served as the capital of the Southern Song dynasty until 1279 and was a major cultural and political center. The is some dispute as to the reliability of the Travels of Marco Polo . Several authorities, including Frances Wood of the British Museum, point out that Polo uses Persian words to describe Chinese sights, omits descriptions of phenomena which would have been hard to miss [for instance footbinding or even the Great Wall], and gives an account of his own career under Kublai Khan which go beyond belief. Wood suggests that many of the stories may have been picked up from Persian merchants in caravan stops. This does not mean that all the information is useless, but much could be replicated from Chinese sources - with China we are dealing with a country whose rulers almost obsessively recorded everything and where the unbroken historiographical tradition is the longest on record. The real importance of the text is what it says about Europe. Here we see the beginnings of an effort to collect information on other parts of the world - however inaccurate to begin with - and a clear interest in the wealth that might be found and made there. This tradition of collecting information was to continue. When European society began to overtake other world cultures in technological, industrial and military strength, it was also equipped with a much greater amount of knowledge about the world. Imperialism and orientalism may have been born together.
