a food for thought
Yatima's gone and ten days past.
Well, how about "the accord of Reason and Sensuality in the Fear of Death"?

titled "Tarot and a Medieval Fantasy" an English file. Simply a survey on Lydgate's work, but might be interesting to some.
Re the Dominican game. I'm searching through the inextricable jungle of Secret Christianity and getting some impressions. The reference to the game was made in 1940 in the Japanese Catholic Encyclopedia without documentation. Those who concerned were all passed away. It seems the game was played by the Japan-resident-Dominican friars in early 17th century and it's not sure whether the game goes back to the 16th or 15th century or not. The unquestionable facts are that the wood-cards were once the fifteen images of rosary, and now they are used for divination by the Secret Christians, and the scholars said the wood cards has a connection to the Dominican game. The search goes on.
