Re: 1337 Abbaye of St Victor of Marseilles : paginae
Okay, so, a few translations for non-French-speakers. (hoping we have some).
Namadev is quoting Tarot de Marseille History page which cites the mention (discovered by Du Cagne) in the Charters of the Abbey Saint Victor in Marseilles:
I translate the French translation of the Latin (ROFL) "Let no one dare or undertake to play with dice, with 'pages', or with chess."
Namadev's quote continues, giving another quote from the Latin charters of the Abbey which explains that "pages" means a game of cards.
Which I think translates to something like: sheets of paper [folia] for playing [lusoria] serve them as "our game of pages" -- which makes it very clear that the "game of pages" is a deck of cards.
Translation in progress for the quote from Camoin's Origin and History page...

: Folia lusoria ni fa lor « Ludos ad paginas nostris ».
