Sorry to hear that. Great you could still file a claim. I think if too much time goes by you can't file a claim any more? His Etsy site I believe does contain some comparisons of the original and revised cards.

No English translation I assume?
An English translation has just become available on May 22th, email Il Meneghello directly if you would like a copy. I believe the price is around 18 euros plus shipping.

New book about Sola-Busca Tarot
I wish replay to Sherryl... and other persons who ask me info about my new book dedicate to Sola-Busca Tarot.
I hope the book will be prompt for the end of September... in english only.
The title will be:
Sola-Busca Tarot . Secret Code of Alchemy.
In this work I will give literary references and iconographic analogies between S-BT and alchemic tradition in Middle Ages.
I will prepare, also, a chapter dedicate to practical use of S-BT.
I will give news of the imminent publication of the book on Aeclectic Tarot forum and other websites.

I saw the exhibition of Sola-Busca Tarot at Pinacoteca di Brera and I can say:
unfortunately, the Il Meneghello reproduction have too saturated colors, not faithfully reproduced. Only the card backs are interesting.
I think the Mayer's version is absolutely faithful to the original... but unfortunately the card backs are blanks.

Sofia Di Vincenzo's book on Sola-Busca Tarot
In my Foreword to the book by Sofia Di Vincenzo on S-BT, I wrote that her work was not accurate for the fact that she not cited the source of the alchemical interpretations.
In reality this was not to his will, but for the will of the Publisher Lo Scarabeo, who preferred to avoid the inclusion of a chapter devoted to citations of sources used by Sofia Di Vincenzo.
Lo Scarabeo preferred, instead, to insert a chapter dedicated to game with Tarot cards at the end of the fifteenth century ... which is very interesting but totally disconnected from the alchemic pictures of S-BT.
As confirmed by prof. Gnaccolini in the catalogue of the exhibition at the Pinacoteca di Brera (''Il segreto dei segreti''), this deck contains many references to medieval Alchemy... but prof. Gnaccolini doesn't mention ever Di Vincenzo, although it is evident that he read his book.
Well. Because I knew the deep alchemical knowledge of Sofia Di Vincenzo, I can confirm that his book is a milestone in the history of the Tarot.
Di Vincenzo was a pioneer in this field, as in the past were Antoine Court De Gebelin, Etteilla, Eliphas Levi, Aleister Crowley... just for say someone.
So, like all great teachers, Sofia Di Vincenzo will be surpassed by some students. What is important is that someone will remember her and her work.
I own many of the writings that Sofia Di Vincenzo I left before he died and I can say that was a great Teacher of Life and Thought.
The merit of Sofia di Vincenzo in Tarot history lies in having indicated, before any other scholar, that the S-BT is explicitly an alchemical deck and therefore it must be used in the light of the Philosophy that created it.

Giordano Berti wrote the preface to that book! Are you saying it was the best that was around at the time and that although he wrote the preface, he now regrets it or is more critical of the book? I am sure Giordano can speak for himself.
Presumably the divinatory meanings of the cards are highly speculative anyway.

Looking very much forward to your book, Giordano. I am quite interested in the alchemical history surrounding this tarot.

What about the hues: Do the red colors of the orignial look more orangey like in the Mayer edition or more purpleish like in both the Lo Scarabeo and the Il Meneghello edition?

I look forward to the publishing of this book. Thank you for your explanations.
