Marco Polo travelled to the Orient with his father and uncle, setting off from Venice in 1271 and arriving in Peking in 1274. He spent the next 17 years in various parts of the Mongol empire under the protection of Kublai Khan and carried out many diplomatic assignments for him. Marco's integration into a society perceived as hostile in other contemporary reports provides a unique aspect to his accounts of the Mongol system and the court of the Great Khan. His final duty for Kublai Khan was to escort the Mongol princess Cocacin to her betrothed, the Ilkhan Arghun. The party departed from the southern port city of Quanzhou in 1291, sailing to Sumatra, and then Persia, via Ceylon and India, where they made visits to Mylapore, Madurai and Allepey. They reached the Ilkhanate after Arghun's death and Cocacin was left with Gaykhatu, the new Ilkhan. The Polos returned to Venice via Trebizond. Marco was captured during a conflict between Venice and Genoa and the first account of his travels was written while in prison, 1298-1299. His writings were soon translated into many different languages and brought the European world considerable knowledge of China's culture, the Silk Road trade routes and all aspects of the Mongol Empire. The original of 'Il milione', known in English as 'The Travels of Marco Polo' was lost. Between 1310 and 1320 Marco wrote a new version in Italian, but again the original was lost. A Latin translation by a Franciscan friar, Francesco Pipino, survived and was translated back into Italian. There are many different and often conflicting versions of the various translations and editions.
