Does anyone know what the phrase on the pips in the Visconti Tarot means? Tried doing an online search and nothing came up. Any thoughts??
Visconti Tarot - Moto?
Otello
A Bon Droyt
It is the motto of Sforza family,
it means something like: "a good path", "the right way" or "the good way".
BTW, on 2 of Cups there is "Amor mio", meaning "my love".

Philippe
I think "à bon droit" (french adverb phrase) rather means rightfully or legitimately, a self-assured and proud motto.
Abrac
In Visconti Tarots: Extrordinary examples of Renaissance art, Tiberio Gonard says it means "a just right."
Otello
Abrac
Kaplan says it means "To the good belongs the right."
Gonard's interpretation is a lot more eloquent to me.

Otello
Well, I think Philippe is right because in Italian, too, "a buon diritto" has the same use of the French "a bon droit".
For instance, it may be the king/duke exclamation, while putting the crown on his own head: "God gave it to me and, a bon droyt - legitimately - I put it on my head".
