This author claimed to have written a lasting work while suffering from gout and laying in "wretched rest." Part of this  person's tale coincides with the narrative of Odoric of Pordenone, who also related stories of cormorant fishing. This  author likely cribbed from Giovanni da Pian del Carpine and Vincent de Beauvois. He told of encountering the daughter  of Hippocrates turned into a dragon, giant flesh-eating ants called pismires, a race of sciapods who shelter themselves  from the sun under their giant single feet, and men with their (*) faces on their chests and no heads. His account of his travels  came out a few years after the publication of Marco Polo's Il Milione.  For 10 points, name this possibly fake A
