http://ludustriumphorum.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tape en touche, Simone! Amen'donné, j'ai vu 'Le fils à Jo'. Michael J. Hurst. Ross G.R. Caldwell. Wednesday, 3 June 2009. I’ve been considering my plotting of the earliest evidence for tarot some more. Here are some conclusions. Be taken as evidence of absence. How long an absence? Can the absence be measured and the margin of error for the invention guessed at? Pass through, or at least by, Bologna. Therefore the absence of any earlier record in Bologna must be an historical accident, and is not. Mercha...

Ludus Triumphorum: The Turfan Card
http://ludustriumphorum.blogspot.com/2009/01/turfan-card.html
Tape en touche, Simone! Amen'donné, j'ai vu 'Le fils à Jo'. The need for a decent forum for research. Michael J. Hurst. Ross G.R. Caldwell. Monday, 26 January 2009. I agree with the consensus opinion of Carter, Bernhardi, and Dummett against that of von Le Coq and Culin, that the card dates to the 13th or 14th centuries (von Le Coq thought it was from the eleventh century). I follow Michael Dummett’s reasoning in “The Game of Tarot” (pp. 38-39, and 38 note 15) –. Figures; if we assume that the associatio...
