l'appeso
Thanks for the link, truly informative
(Ross’ note – from a purely chronological point of view, what is striking about this description is “the four Evangelists.” This must refer to the typical design of the World card in the “Tarot de Marseille”, which therefore already existed by the 1580s in France)...
This is really the point...
so can we argue then that the earliest examples of TdM we have (noblet?) are simply following an older tradition?
I started thinking about that because TdM design and carachter clothes didn't fit with 17th century style...
(this is also the case for some italian regional decks which are still used today)
