在一般史籍中,均把马可·波罗称为到达中国旅行的第一个西方人。然而,这是否是他制造的一个大骗局呢?他是否从未到过比君士坦丁堡(今土耳其城市伊斯坦布尔)更远的地方呢? 明年就将是马可·波罗说他从中国回到威尼斯的700周年纪念,他在书中说他是1295年从中国返回威尼斯的。然而,英国不列颠图书馆中国部主任弗朗西丝·伍德博土届时也将推出她的新著,她在这本书中认定,马可·波罗从未到过中国。

Next year will be Marco Polo said he is from China Returning to the 700th anniversary of Venice, he said in the book that he returned to China from China in 1295. However, Frances Woodburn, head of the Chinese department at the British Library in Britain, will also launch her new book, in which she concludes that Marco Polo has never been to China.
