Lo Scarabeo | none | 08 Mar 2007 | Lo Scarabeo | 9780738710266 | English | United States Le Mandala du Tarot : Tarot de Marseille - TIRAGES DE TAROT MÉTHODE PHILIPPE CAMOIN I don't like the name Marseille Tarot because the earliest development of the deck was elsewhere. The name was given in by Paul Marteau to a copy he made of an older deck created in Marseille, and published by the French card maker Grimaud, a company owned by Marteau. Let us compare one of the Grimaud cards with several decks belonging to the Marseille Tarot:. From left to right we have the following decks:. Tarot of Marseille/Tarot de Marsella/Tarot de Marseille/Tarot de Marseille/Tarocchi Di Marsiglia first three cards are pratically the same, with some very small differences, you almost need a magnifying glass to see them. This was common practice to emphasize the reversed position of the Hanged Man. Jaques Vievil Tarot of Marseille/Tarot de Marsella/Tarot de Marseille/Tarot de Marseille/Tarocchi Di Marsiglia this tradition. Many people did not understood the reason of spelling IIX. Nicolas Conver knew evidently the other decks made in Marseille. On the cards, the X stays in the center, the two I's move to the right. Until aroundlike in Tarot of Marseille/Tarot de Marsella/Tarot de Marseille/Tarot de Marseille/Tarocchi Di Marsiglia Roman scriptures, the capital U was written as a V and the capital J was written as an I. Marteau most closely follows Nicolas Conver. Errors on the Conver deck look for example between his upper legs and to the branch where the rope is attached are reproduced in his own deck. In fact he owned a Conver deck, so it is logical that he used this as a model. We also remark that Marteau does not respect the coloring of the cards, there are many differences. Especially the hanging figure has in detail no colors in common with the preceding versions. We will not compare other cards here, but if we did, we would remark on all the cards the same kind of differences. The Grimaud deck is close to Conver, except for the coloring where Marteau follows his own ideas. The Grimaud deck had a tremendous success, people rediscovered the old cards. Afterevery card deck produced in France in the same style, was called a Marseille Tarot, even when it was created outside Marseille. We know now that there are older Marseille Tarot type decks who were produced in other cities like Paris, Lyon, Dijon and Avignon. Even if I dislike the name for historical reasons, we will use it for simplicity throughout these pages or we use its abbreviation, TdM. Next question, why describing the development of the Marseille Tarot. Its structure never changed, everybody copied each other. Even if there are differences, they are small. Well, this is not exactly true, there was some development. The cards presented above are all from the same generation, but here are two older generations in France. And except for these three versions of the French Marseille Tarot, we know of similar but older Italian cards and we know also many variants inspired by the same source or by the Marseille Tarot itself elsewhere in France and all over Europe. Let us first define what can be called the Marseille Tarot. The Marseille Tarot is a card deck produced in France that consists of 78 cards divided in 56 suit cards and 22 cards. Except for the older cards, the name and the number are indicated in seperate zones, respectively below and above the image. The images on the cards are most of the times a variation on the same theme, with some regional differences. Every suit has 10 pipcards and 4 courtcards. The pipcards have from one to ten symbols and except for the , a card that is never numbered, they can have a Roman number on one or both of their sides. A number inversely printed keeps its value, so for example, IV and VI designate both the number six. We'll come back to this on the page about the Tarot of Marseille/Tarot de Marsella/Tarot de Marseille/Tarot de Marseille/Tarocchi Di Marsiglia cards. The court cards are never numbered, the court has its own rules. The figures on the court cards have always the same pose. The names and numbers of the Trump cards are as follows. Again, spelling differences exists and the space between words is not always respected. Sometimes the space is indicated by a point or more rarely by a vertical line. The numbers on the card don't give them a value, they are only there for clarifying the order of the trumps. The images are always the same, although Death and the Emperor may be mirrored between different decks. Some images have a similar scenery but with differences in details. Card Playing.

The Tarot of Marseilles or Tarot of Marseillealso widely known by the French designation Tarot de Marseilleis one of the standard patterns for the design of tarot cards. It is a pattern from which many subsequent tarot decks derive. Michael Dummett 's Tarot of Marseille/Tarot de Marsella/Tarot de Marseille/Tarot de Marseille/Tarocchi Di Marsiglia led him to conclude that based on the lack of earlier documentary evidence the Tarot deck was probably invented in northern in the 15th century and introduced into southern France when the French conquered Milan and the in The antecedents of the Tarot de Marseille would then have been introduced into southern France at around that time. The card version of the game of Tarot died out in Italy but survived in France and Switzerland. When the game was reintroduced into northern Italy, the Marseilles designs of the cards were reintroduced with it. All Italian-suited tarot decks outside of Italy are descended from the Milan- Marseilles type with the exception of some early French and Belgian packs which show mixed influence from Bolognese tarot see below. The Tarot de Marseille is one of the standards from which many tarot decks of the 19th Tarot of Marseille/Tarot de Marsella/Tarot de Marseille/Tarot de Marseille/Tarocchi Di Marsiglia and later are derived. The term Tarot de Marseille has, in the past, most often been translated into English as Tarot of Marseilles because of the English exonym Marseilles for the city whose name in French is spelled "Marseille". The spelling Marseille is gradually enjoying greater, concurrent usage in the English language to describe the city generally; likewise, the alternative English translation Tarot of Marseille for the French term Tarot de Marseille is gradually increasing in usage. Others have also tended to use the initials TdM, allowing for ambiguity as to whether the M stands for Marseille or Milana region claimed for the origins of the image design. In deference to the common appellation Marseille for the style and in recognition that the deck appears in other places, the term "Marseille-style" is at times also used. Like other Tarot decks, the Tarot de Marseille contains fifty-six cards in the four standard suits. These count from Ace to There was also an archaic practice of ranking the cards 10 to Ace for the suit of and in line with all other tarot games outside of . Occultists and many tarot readers nowadays, whether English- or French-speaking call this series the or Arcanes Mineuresin French. In the Tarot de Marseille, as is standard among Italian suited playing cards, the cards in the suit of are drawn as abstract symbols in curved lines, forming a shape reminiscent of a mandorla. On the even numbered cards, the abstract curved lines are all that is present. On the odd numbered cards, a single fully rendered sword is rendered inside the abstract designs. The suit of is drawn as straight objects that cross to form a lattice in the higher numbers; on odd numbered baton cards, a single vertical baton runs through the middle of the lattice. On the tens of both swords and batons, two fully rendered objects appear imposed on the abstract designs. In this abstraction, the Tarot, and the tradition, diverges from that of Spanish playing cardsin which swords and batons are drawn as distinct objects. Cups and coins are drawn as distinct objects. Most decks fill up areas of the cards with floral decorations. The two of cups typically contains a floral caduceus -like symbol terminating in two heraldic dolphin heads. The two of coins usually joins the two coins by a ribbon motif; the ribbon is a conventional place for the manufacturer to include his name and the date. There is also a suit of twenty-two atouts trump cards. , which is unnumbered in the Tarot de Marseille, is viewed as separate and additional to the other twenty-one numbered trumps because it usually cannot win a trick. The labelling of cards is a practice of French origin, Italians remembered their names by heart. In many modern cartomantic tarot decks e. The names given to the Marseilles pattern trumps differ from those in early Italian sources. The ranking of the trumps vary according to region or time period. The following trump images are from Jean Dodal's deck printed in Lyon in the early 18th century. La Papesse The Popess. L'Empereur The Emperor. Le Chariot The Chariot. La Justice Justice. L'Ermite The Hermit. La Force Strength. Le Pendu The Hanged Man. La Mort Unlabelled or Death. Le Diable The Devil. La Lune The Moon. Le Soleil The Sun. Le Jugement Tarot of Marseille/Tarot de Marsella/Tarot de Marseille/Tarot de Marseille/Tarocchi Di Marsiglia Judgement. Le Monde The World. The use of obviously Christian traditional images such as Tarot of Marseille/Tarot de Marsella/Tarot de Marseille/Tarot de Marseille/Tarocchi Di Marsiglia Pope, the Devil, the Grim Reaper and the Last Judgement and indeed controversial images such as La Papesse have spawned controversies from the Renaissance to the present because of its portrayal of a female pope. Tarot of Marseille/Tarot de Marsella/Tarot de Marseille/Tarot de Marseille/Tarocchi Di Marsiglia is no solid historical evidence of a female pope, but this card may be based around the mythical Pope Joan. Protestants, and Catholics living outside contentious zones, preferred using the Marseilles pattern. In the early eighteenth century the Marseilles Tarot was introduced in Northern Italy starting from the Kingdom of Sardiniawhich also included the Savoy now in France and Piedmontwhere Tarot of Marseille/Tarot de Marsella/Tarot de Marseille/Tarot de Marseille/Tarocchi Di Marsiglia card manufacturing industry collapsed following a severe economic depression. The Piedmontese players did not have difficulties to accept the Marseilles Tarot, because the images were similar and even the French language captioning was widespread in many areas of Piedmont. Around some manufacturers active in Turincapital of the Kingdom of , began to produce Tarot decks in Marseille's pattern, but after few years they introduced captions in Italian and small variations in certain figures. For example, the Fool was not chased by a wild animal but had a butterfly in front of him. In a few decades, variation after variation, was consolidated the iconography of the Piedmontese Tarot Tarot of Marseille/Tarot de Marsella/Tarot de Marseille/Tarot de Marseille/Tarocchi Di Marsiglia, which therefore must be considered as a derivation of the Tarot of Marseilles. In Tarot of Marseille/Tarot de Marsella/Tarot de Marseille/Tarot de Marseille/Tarocchi Di Marsiglia Austrian-ruled Duchy of Milan modern-day Lombardythe Marseilles pattern also took root with Italian captioning starting around The "Death" card was given several names by different manufacturers such as il Tredici Tarot of Marseille/Tarot de Marsella/Tarot de Marseille/Tarot de Marseille/Tarocchi Di Marsiglialo Specchio the Skeletonand Uguaglianza Equality. Production of this pattern stopped before the First World War. AroundCarlo Della Rocca of Milan engraved an elaborate interpretation of the Marseilles pattern. It spread to Piedmont where a double-ended version was adapted to local tastes and was popular until the s. A few early French decks exhibit certain curiosities. The Popeoften depicted holding an orb or a covered communion chalice, is replaced by Bacus Bacchusthe Greek god of wine holding a wine cup or bottle and a fruited vine cane or bunch of grapes while astride a beer barrel or wine cask; this was copied from the of Acorns found in some German-suited patterns. The Hanged Man is shown still pendant but right-side up. The Star shows a man with compasses staring up at the sky next to a tower. The Moon shows a woman holding a distaff and Tarot of Marseille/Tarot de Marsella/Tarot de Marseille/Tarot de Marseille/Tarocchi Di Marsiglia Sun shows a man on horseback bearing a . The World depicts a naked woman atop a globe parted into a moon in a starry sky and a sun in a blue sky over a tower on land. Unusually, the Fool is numbered as trump XXII likely showing that it functioned as the highest trump. Very similar decks were soon produced in the Austrian Netherlands modern-day Belgium until the beginning of the 19th century. Packaging indicates that they were locally called "Cartes de Suisse". However, no cards from this region before the 18th century are known to have survived to prove or disprove this theory. All cards were originally printed from woodcuts Tarot of Marseille/Tarot de Marsella/Tarot de Marseille/Tarot de Marseille/Tarocchi Di Marsiglia the cards were later coloured either by hand or by the use of stencils. Tarot was recorded as being very popular card game throughout France during the 16th and early 17th century but later fell into obscurity with the exception of eastern France and Switzerland. Very few Marseilles pattern cards from the 17th century have survived, chiefly among them are Noblet's. In contrast, dozens of decks from the 18th century have made it to the present. From eastern France and Switzerland, the game spread north to Sweden and east to Russia starting from the middle of the 18th century, making it one of the most popular card games of that era until being overtaken by Whist in the 19th century. One well-known artisan producing tarot cards in the Marseilles pattern was Nicolas Conver circa As such, Conver's deck became the model for most subsequent esoteric decks, starting with the deck designed by Etteilla forward. Cartomancy with the Tarot was definitely being practised throughout France by the end of the 18th century; Alexis-Vincent-Charles Berbiguier reported an encounter with two "sibyls" who divined with Tarot cards in the last decade of the century at Avignon. French players ignored animal but during the 20th century, they switched over to the genre art Tarot Nouveau. These occultists later produced esoteric decks that reflected their own ideas, and these decks were widely circulated in the anglophone world. Various esoteric decks such as the Rider-Waite-Smith deck conceived by A. Waite and rendered by Pamela Colman Smithand the Thoth Tarot deck conceived by Aleister Crowley and rendered by Lady Frieda Harris —and tarot decks inspired by those two decks—are most typically used. Although there were various other respective influences e. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was essentially the first in the Anglophone world to venture into esoteric tarot. Even though the Tarot de Marseille decks are not 'occult' "per se", the imagery of the Tarot de Marseille decks is claimed by Levi to have Hermetic influences e. Referring to the Tarot, Eliphas Levi declares: "This book, which may be older than that of Enochhas never been translated, but is still preserved unmutilated in primeval characters, on detached leaves, like the tablets of the ancients It is, in truth, a monumental and extraordinary work, strong and simple as the architecture of the pyramidsand consequently enduring like those - a book which is the summary of all scienceswhich can resolve all problems by its infinite combinations, which speaks by evoking thought, is the inspirer and moderator of all possible conceptions, and the masterpiece perhaps of the human mind. It is to be counted unquestionably among the very gret gifts bequeathed to us by antiquity In the French-speaking world, users of the tarot for divination and other esoteric purposes such as Alejandro Jodorowsky[23] Kris Hadar, and many others, continue to use the Tarot de Marseille, although Oswald Wirth's Atouts-only major-arcana tarot deck has enjoyed such popularity in the 20th century albeit less so than the Tarot de Marseille. In the mids Jodorowsky contacted a late descendant of the Camoin family, who has printed the Tarot of Marseilles since the 19th century. They worked together for almost a decade to put together a card deck, including the original detail and 11 color printing. Paul Marteau pioneered the number-plus-suit-plus-design approach to interpreting the numbered minor arcana cards ['pip cards'] of the Tarot de Marseille. Before Marteau's book Le Tarot de Marseille which was first published "circa" scartomantic meanings such as Etteilla's were generally the only ones published for interpreting Marseille pip cards. Even nowadays, as evidenced by tarot readings of members of French-language tarot lists and forums on the Internet, many French tarotists employ only the major arcana cards for divination. In fact, in recognition of this, many French-language Tarot de Marseille tarot books even good ones, such as Picard's discuss the symbolism and interpretation of only the major arcana. Many fortune-tellers in France who use the "Tarot de Marseille" for readings Tarot of Marseille/Tarot de Marsella/Tarot de Marseille/Tarot de Marseille/Tarocchi Di Marsiglia use only the major arcana and will use an Etteilla deck if they are to use all 78 cards for the reading. However, the influence of other decks is also apparent in the RWCS deck, e. The 19th century deck of Swiss-French occultist Oswald Wirth was also influential for certain of the iconographic features of the Atouts or major arcana cards of the RWCS deck. Various facsimiles of Conver's deck and other old decks are available. Others offer redrawn decks based on the old models. Tarot de Marseille
