I deleted the link after the auction has ended.

The deck is incomplete (17/22 and not all the minors), unlike the Antoine Bourlion sold some weeks ago.

There were few pics :

Thanks for this pics that show a very nice deck. Colours, expressions, design of lines. Rather expensive for an uncomplete deck.
Did you win this auction ?

No I didn't win
I wanted to ask the seller a pic of the chariot (in case it wasn't missing) but forgot to do it along the way

Informations from a catalogue of the "Bayerisches Nationalmuseum" in Munich:
"Spielkarten", Sigmar Radau, Georg Himmelheber, 1991

In this museum there are a lot of card decks, among them also Tarot decks as well as original Woodblocks.
The catalogue differentiates between Italian, German and French suits.
I list here the decks with italian suits and with trumps.

1664 Mitelli (Rome)

1723 Rochus I , Schaer (Mümliswil)

about 1730 Pierre Lachapelle (Strasbourg) Besançon Tarot

about 1750 Andreas Benedikt Göbl (Munich) Besançon Tarot

about 1750/1760 Johann Neumur (Manheim) Besançon Tarot

about 1780 Joseph Henseler (Raus bei Kempten) Besançon Tarot
Interesting in this deck is that the woodblocks have two different versions of some cards: LETOILE, LA LUNE, LE SOLEIL, LE JUGEMENT, LE MONDE, LE FOL

about 1790 Johann Albrecht (Innsbruck) Lombardisches Tarot

about 1800 Minchiate "Chattino" (Avellino?)

about 1800 Minchiate "Fortuna" (Florence ?)

about 1800 Minchiate "Poverino" (Florence ?)

about 1800 Minchiate "Colomba" (Florence ?)

about 1875 Carolina Beltramo (Turin) a Piemonteser Tarot
A particularity of this deck is that it is a double headed deck

1880 Della Rocca, Gumppenberg (Milano)
This deck is also known as "Soprafino" and has been first printed about 1840

I am sure I am not original with my question. Which tarot is first known to be used for fortunetelling?
