Mystical Symbolism in Soprafino decks

Aeric

While the classic French woodcut Marsies have a lot of book discussion of their visual symbolism, I've seen little related to the Italian soprafino decks by Dellarocca, Dotti, and Avondo.

A while back, Mark Filipas wrote an essay for Pasteboard Masquerade claiming that the Mars cards' objects correlated to letters of the Hewbrew alphabet. I can't find this essay anymore, does someone have a copy?

How much of the esoteric content was altered or replaced in the engraved decks, and how much was just the artists' fancy? I notice small details like a possible Masonic apron on the cobbler Bagatto card, but I don't recognize much else in the changes.

PS: I have to say, I felt like a bona fide genius when I found it with links intact. Score one for the home team!

Wow, thanks! I feel like grabbing these and turning them into a document, minus the images unless someone can find them. Is someone in touch with Mark who can get his permission?

You can copy anything for your own reference.
