Does anyone know of a historical deck (Marseille or Italian) that has the Mat numbered as number 10? I'm trying to verify a source of information.
Le Mat as number X ?

I do not either...
If such a card is found, I would also be interested to see (at least some of) the other cards in the deck, for an 'X' may denote either its numbering, or something other.

I don't, but I have seen a rather elegant numerical ordering that places the fool as X. Nothing historically valid of course, and there is nothing more deceiving than elegance (especially elegant numerical patterns).

The link below proves nothing (as it considers the Fool as O), but an interesting coincidence.

Rusty Neon: Thanks for the link. Now that's a deck that goes right on top of my wish-list!
