About the "devisement du monde"
Here are some books where I found the documents and informations.
If you search in France the original book, you will find it at
the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (B.N.F.).
But you can find a copy :
- "Le livre des merveilles du monde" de Marco Polo.
From the original one conserved in the archives of the B.N.F.
