	History of the Spice Trade
		da Gama's voyage also made it clear that gaining a foothold on the eastern coast of Africa was essential in terms of developing a spice trade for there fresh water and provisions could be obtained for the voyage to India.
		On his second voyage (1502) da Gama took a fleet of twenty warships and he used this to smash a fleet of twenty-nine ships from Calicut, southern India, effectively conquering the city and securing a Portugese foothold in the lands of pepper.
		However, from a Portugese viewpoint the da Gama's second voyage was a great success and as he and subsequent Portugese explorers returned to Lisbon with their holds full of spices the Venetians and Egyptians were stunned, especially as the price of pepper in Lisbon fell to a fifth of that in Venice.

		After setting the stage, he introduces us to both Marco Polo and the man he believes was his coauthor, Rustichello da Pisa (whom Polo met when both were prisoners of the Genoese).
		He makes his case by arguing that the type of occupation-specific education that Polo, a member of Venice's mercantile class, had received before his journey to China would not have enabled him to write a literate narrative.
		Rustichello, on the other hand, was a minor author of literary romance, an ideal partner to sort out Polo's notes and arrange them into the work that captivated a generation.

		Beginning with a discussion of the extent of European knowledge of Asia early in the thirteenth century, Larner considers what is known about Marco Polo’s life and the composition of his text.
		He examines the Book’s scope and sources (vindicating its author from recent claims that he never visited China), as well as the nature of Polo’s cooperation with his co-author Rustichello da Pisa.
		He traces the manuscript forms and translations of Polo’s Book in the Middle Ages, its influence on Western cartographers, its fortunes in the climate of fifteenth-century humanism, the possible extent of its encouragement to Columbus, and its later evolution into such new guises as the object of historical scholarship and exotic curiosity.
