Phaeded, I haven't shown you this one. The Lucca Tarocchi has 69 cards and that's (possibly) of some importance for the year number 1369, as already shown in the thread ... http://forum.tarothistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2035&p=23297#p23297 ....

a. The subject is the Lucca Tarocchi which is a subset of tarot trumps - nothing to do with Marziano/Michelino (which preceded Tarot by some 20 years, not 80). b. "when [pip/court] cards are defined as trumps during a game" they still aren't tarot's trumps. There is no genetic connection between tr...

Huck: The arrangement of the cards, if it was not just done by accident, could have done it as early as 1369 or as late as early 18th century Phaeded: Worst idea yet. You're trying to push back the first appearance of trumps some 80 years on the flimsiest of coincidences, into a period void of evide...

Phaeded, Chariot has Nr 9 in Minchiate, so also in Lucca. 16-20 have no numbers in Lucca, as 36-40 in Minchiate have no numbers. ********** As far I know we have no date, when Fibbia appeared in Bologna, so any interpretation of details is just speculation. There is also no security, that the Lucca ...

hi Phaeded, following is the case: 3 contexts and one observation A. A picture in Bologna gave us notice about a Prince Fibbia, who shall have invented the Tarocchino from Bologna.

The US has an Independance Day, since 4th of July 1776 France has a day for the storm of the Bastille, since 14th of July 1789 Britain has no national celebration day.

Has someone hazarded any other date besides that of the auction house that had c. 1730? The British Museum simply gives 18th century but also calls it minchiate: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_1896-0501-35 And I'm confused, is Orfeo a trump and also the backs of the cards? The BM...

Jan Klobusicky, a Czech playing card researcher, once researched the following question ... I have one old Czech article (feuilleton) on Czech bulka (Trappola) from “Narodni listy” (19th March 1882). There is written a very remarkable history of this play. It was in 1339, when the last rest of Ghibe...
