'''The Polo Symbols''', or '''Book Quests''', were virtual representations of some of [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], relived by [[Desmond Miles]] in 2012 through the [[Animus]].

==Aqueduct==
Perching on the southern end of [[Valens Aqueduct]], Ezio used his [[Eagle Vision#Eagle Sense|Eagle Sense]] to scan a [[Niccolò Polo|Polo]] symbol further south, outside the entrance of a building. He found the ''[[Iliad]]''.

==Arsenal==
Ezio climbed the tallest mast of the ship in the western part of the [[Harbor of Theodosius]]. His sixth sense detected the book was on the dock just north of him, and he recovered ''[[The Book of Kings]]''.

==Church I==
On the [[View Points|view point]] of the [[Rose Mosque|Gul Mosque]]'s minaret, Ezio found a book just beneath him on the roof of the main building. The book contained ''[[The Canterbury Tales]]''.

==Church II==
A small, unmarked church due East of the [[Romanies|Romani]] headquarters, and due West of the [[Myrelaion Church]]. Ezio sensed a book on the roof, and recovered ''[[The Flute Girl]]''. (Books might vary. I found "The Flute Girl" in "Signs and Symbols II", in a part between broken pillars of the Valens Aqueduct.)

==Forum of the Ox==
On the column view point, Ezio scanned a symbol between two columns to the east, and found the ''[[Nibelungenlied]]''.

==Galata==
Ezio climbed to the top of a minaret and detected the book on the wall connected to [[Galata Tower]]. Parachuting there, he dug up ''[[One Thousand and One Nights]]''.

==Hippodrome==
Climbing the [[Obelisk of Theodosius]], Ezio scanned a symbol to the [[Hippodrome of Constantinople|Hippodrome]]'s southeast and dug up ''[[The Travels of Marco Polo]]''.

==Dialogue==
After purchasing and finding all available books, once Ezio returned to the [[Galata headquarters]], he was surprised to receive a visit from [[Sofia Sartor]].
*'''Sofia:''' ''Hello!''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Eh?''
*'''Sofia:''' ''Ezio, you old snake! You walked right past me.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Forgive me, Sofia. I did not notice. What are you doing in Galata?''
*'''Sofia:''' ''Making some deliveries. Is this where you stay?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Ah, sì'' (yes). ''It is a kind of... school.''
*'''Sofia:''' ''What is taught here?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Come this way. I want to show you something. I have been stocking the library here with rare books. A good start, no?''
*'''Sofia:''' ''Ah! These are all so beautiful. And such diversity. So, are these men and women YOUR students?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''In a way, yes.''
*'''Sofia:''' ''Well, if they ever need a literature scholar, give them my name. In a pinch, I am a pretty good teacher.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''If they find the time to read, I certainly will.''
*'''Sofia:''' ''Oh! {{Wiki|Chaucer}}! Bellissimo.'' (Very nice.)

==Trivia==
*The memories were indicated on the map by a book symbol resembling the one for [[Book Shops]], but with a black border.
*If the [[Armor of Ishak Pasha]] or [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations outfits|Turkish Assassin Armor]] was equipped during the final cutscene, the mask was not removed.
