Polo
[edit]Right now the article states
- His descriptions were based on the conversion of 1 bezant = 20 groats = 133⅓ tornesel.<ref name="YULE"/>
with the cite going to an off-brand reprint of Yule/Cordier. Given that the actual Yule/Cordier says nothing of the kind
- The term Bezant is used by Polo always (I believe) as it is by Joinville, by Marino Sanudo, and by Pegolotti, for the Egyptian gold dínár, the intrensic value of which varied somewhat... The exchange of Venice money for the Bezant or Dinar in the Levant varied a good deal...
I think something's getting misunderstood or misquoted. The text should probably be removed. — LlywelynII 21:21, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
