The book is a travelogue, probably originally composed in Old French (though some scholars believe it was actually first written in Latin and then translated to Italian), in which Marco Polo visited Persia, China, Indonesia and other parts of Asia between the years 12. Still others think that Marco Polo should be considered the author, and that he dictated the stories while Rustichello da Pisa acted more as a scribe than co-author. Other scholars think of the book as a collaboration between the two men, something jointly composed to while away the time in prison. Some scholars consider Rustichello da Pisa to be the proper author, and that he based the work on Marco Polos stories but told them in his own words.
The Travels of Marco Polo was written in the 13th century from the accounts of the explorer Marco Polo, as recorded by romance author Rustichello da Pisa while they were both political prisoners in Genoa.
