Translated from the Franco-Italian by F. Pipino.
Title extracted from incipit (leaf a1 recto), which reads: In nomine D[omi]ni N[ost]ri Ih[es]u [Christ]i filij Dei viui et veri amen. Incipit p[ro]logus i[n] libro d[omi]ni Marci Pauli de Venecijs De co[n]suetudinibus et co[n]dicionibus orientaliu[m] regionu[m].
Colophon (leaf k6 recto) reads: Explicit liber d[omi]ni Marci de Venecijs Deo gracias.
