This paper will deal with the little-known editio princeps of the travel account of Odorico from Pordenone which was first printed in 1513 by the humanist Pontico Virunio and the printer Ghershom Soncino. This “forgotten edition” (“Odorichus de rebus incognitis — nella prima edizione a stampa del 1513”) was recently published by the Chamber of Commerce of the home city of the traveling monk.
