  • The History of Playing Cards
    tv THE HISTORY PLAYING CARDS, WITH guttcimits of ijjtir xtst in CONJURING, FORTUNE-TELLING, AND CARD-SHARPING. Ike. hlsiov. EDITED BT THE LATE Rev. Ed. S. TAYLOR, B.A. AND OTHERS. LONDON : JOHN CAMDEN HOTTEN, PICCADILLY. 1865. n/^ /•" TWO CARICATURE CARDS FROM A PACK FORMERLY BELONGING TO THE LATE COUNT d'oRS AY. PREFACE. Five years ago I pin-chased from an eminent French publisher some tasteful wood-engravings, illustrative of the History of Playing Cards. These, with the small work in which they originally appeared, were placed in the hands of the late Rev. Ed. S. Taylor, of Onnesby St. Margaret, Great Yarmouth, as mate rial for a History of Playing Cards, English and Foreign, which he had offered to undertake for me. The readers of Notes and Queries will remember this gen tleman as the valued contributor of many curious articles to that useful periodical. His knowledge was wide and varied, although his tastes were of that peculiar kind which delights in the careful exploration of the bye-ways, rather than the high roads, of learning. The first part of the work was soon in the printers' hands, but ill-health followed, and the book proceeded slowly up to the time of the Editor's decease, two years ago. It was deemed necessary to mention this fact, as some of the references are to matters long since passed, although they are stated as of the present day. IV PREFACE. To tlie French Illustrations have been added several facsimiles of old cards from the Print-room in the British Museum, and other sources.

O'DONOGHUE, F.S.A., ASSISTANT-KEEPER OF PRINTS AND DRAWINGS. Printed by Order of the Trustees. LONDON: LONGMANS & CO., Pateenosteb Eow; B. QUAEITCH, 15, Piccadilly; ASHEE & CO., 13, Bedford Street, Covent Garden; KEGAN PAUL, TEENCH, TEUBNEE & CO., Paternoster House, Charing Cross Eoad; and HENBY FBOWDE, Oxford University Press, Amen Corner. 1901, : ON !?33 LONDON PRINTED BY WILLIAM CLOWES AND SONS, Limited, STAMFORD STREET AND CHARING CROSS. ; PREFACE. The late Lady Charlotte Schreiber formed during her lifetime an extensive collection of the Playing-Cards of various countries, and, dying in 1895, bequeathed the collection to the Trustees of the British Museum. In accordance with the terms of the legacy, all those items were retained which were not strictly duplicates of others already in the Museum, the remainder being returned to the executors. The portion retained constitutes a very important addition to the collection which previously belonged to the department.* The present separate catalogue of the addition to the national collection thus made by Lady C. Schreiber's bequest, has been prepared by Mr. F. M. O'Donoghue, Assistant-Keeper of Prints and Drawings in the Museum, and is published by the Trustees in accordance with an undertaking made on their behalf to the executors of the testatrix when her bequest was accepted. Among the most important items in the collection are, in the Italian section, Mitelli's tarocchino and "II Passa Tempo" packs; Fresehot's cards of Venetian Heraldry, 1707 ; and two interesting Ombre packs, probably executed in Venice, one hand-painted on plates of silver and enclosed in a silver case, the other engraved on brass plates and contained in a case of the same material.

  • IN SEARCH of TAROT SOURCES Franco Pratesi − 09.04.1998
    IN SEARCH OF TAROT SOURCES Franco Pratesi − 09.04.1998 INTRODUCTION Many people have spent many years reflecting on the possible origins of the tarot. I too have been interested in this topic and although the genesis of the tarot is not the only problem which I have investigated recently, it is nevertheless one of the most complex. A game having undefined origins cannot be considered as exceptional − the same thing indeed occurs with many games including chess, draughts, and even such recent widespread card games such as bridge and rummy. The fact is that for tarot, the occult tradition associated with these cards has rendered their origin even more obscure than the origins of other games. In my opinion, the occult tradition is based on nothing plausible and is essentially a fantasy created in an attempt to carry back the origin of tarot to the ancient civilisations. In the printed images of the cards there may be traces of older figurative details, but the origin of tarot must be dated to the Italian Renaissance. Despite this attribution, I am however, ready to accept an early date, down to the turning of the 14th into the 15th century.
