1442 vs 1480
Ah yes. But they were made by a Dutch artist working in the netherlands in the 1480s, and the Sforza decks start in the early 1400s. So the Housebook couldn't be the allegorical root of the Tarot. It's just another example of the same imagery floating around at the time. I just wish I could find mention of some story, play, poem, or pageant that outlines the cards' order and how people at that time knew it to heart.
