Detailed Solution

Rustichello da Pisa wrote the Book of the Marvels of the World in the early fifteenth century.
The Travels of Marco Polo, also known as the Book of the Marvels of the World in English, is a travelogue from the 13th century that Rustichello da Pisa compiled from tales heard by the Italian explorer Marco Polo about his journeys through Asia between 1271 and 1295 and Marco Polo's experiences at Kublai Khan's court. It was written in Franco-Venetian by Rustichello. Its original name was Devisement du Monde or Livre des Merveilles du Monde ("Description of the World"). During Marco Polo's lifetime, the book was translated into a number of European languages, but the original manuscripts have since been lost.
