Hello Michael and sincerely thank you very much for this detailled answer !

About relevant data or not, it should also be noted that although a part of the Papal states, Avignon was entirely included within France borders, hence anything coming in ...

Hello, Maybe the text of the Tarot de Hemau has only 3 lines? Indeed, only three lines from "Jeu de Tarots de Jean Hémau" to "les figures sont bizarres". The beginning of the page is about a "Jeu de tarots italiens signé Matteo" from the end of the previous page, and &q...

Hello yes this is definitely sure: *no article in front of "Taraulx" *it is capitalized *the meaning of the sentence which didn't leave any doubt anyway The translation of the last sentence would be something like this I saw - through the content of a letter the L(ord) of Monlmaur showed m...
