Possibly it's easier to produce a copy yourself. Laser-printer, or something like that. I once talked to somebody, who claimed he could do so.

Yeah, I already thought about that solution. Now that I've got the pictures of the missing cards, I can do it.

For your reference, below are all the cards from this deck printed in the book. There are 45 in all, apparently the standard number in Bolognese cartomancy, even if the precise cards used varied slightly. Perhaps you will find some indication of the year 1920; I have not.

Do you know something about the early star system by your nomadic studies ? I think, that knowledge about stars can be of some value in the old deserts.

I've found something .. https://www.ebay.it/itm/374219740364 The back of this deck is different, your deck looks older.

Thanks!

One more thing: Vitali and Zanetti do show the Stars and the Queen of Cups from their copy of Murari's deck. They look essentially the same as versions of the two-headed deck on the internet. The Stars is pictured in Wikipedia's entry on tarocchini at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarocchini, and t...
