Tarot history isn't very well organised

Bernice

Came across a time-line for cards. I think they're playing cards (I was looking for something else).

It's a french site:
http://66.196.80.202/babelfish/tran...p://cartes.over-blog.org/article-4103444.html

Extract (translated):
The chronology of the charts has to play

1377 Mentioning written document of the card decks in Germany


1378 Mentioning written document of the card decks in Spain (Preserved at the municipal file of Barcelona)

1379 Preserved document has Viterbe-Italy (the chronicle of Viterbe) or the author affirms qu " a play called “Naïb” would have been introduced has Viterbe by the sarrazins source: The review of Lorraine

1381 Document written in the files of a Marseilles notary or one speaks about nahipi: card deck

1382 Lille: Prohibition to play charts

1397 One defends with the professionals to play charts the working days

1427 [Michel No5el Maître cartier has Tournai in the Netherlands

Philippe of the Main Boss cartier has Tournai in the Netherlands

[1430-1445] From Main Basle Cartier

1443 Died of Lahire (companion of Jeanne D' Arc)

1460 Appearance of Xylography

1465-1470 Mantegna Cartier

1510 Guyon Guymier craftsman cartier, representing the oldest “French portrait” known nowadays “The Last nine Valiant knights are the direct ancestors of the figures of the charts to be played. The board of Guyon Guymier, main cartier of XVIe century in is an obvious testimony. One sees there already the names of Charles, David, Alexandre, César and Hector. As for the knave of clubs then, it is called Judas Maccabée. Ogier the Dane, very near to the Last nine Valiant knights in the imaginary medieval one, is the knave of spades.” (CF rtf 14c)


1576 The “control of the card decks settles in Mexico

1581 The plays sold abroad will be imposed

1583 One removes the export duty, but one taxes integrality with the card decks manufactured in France

1599 Older document attesting the existance of an industry cartiere has Nancy (Portrait of Lyon)

1605 The charts are again subjected has a tax by Henry IV. One can manufacture them only in seven cities

1609 Suppression temporary of the tax

1613........etc.

The main introductory page is HERE.

There is the collected fragments of MJH: Unfortunately I cannot access the following anymore, as geocities is blocked in Turkey:

http://geocities.com/cartedatrionfi/Fragments.html

There is also Mary Greer's Timeline of the Occult and Divinatory Tarot

from 1750 to 1980:

Geocities will be completely gone on October 26 (Monday next). Anybody who has anything on there they wish to save, if they haven't done it already, should do it now.

But for Michael Hurst's "Fragments" pages, it is moot anyway, since he took them down over a year ago (I think it was then anyway).

They can be found, in text only form, by searching.

Thanks Steve! I guess the Arcane Archive is where Michael's pages of compilations and comments on the timeline of Tarot history will now be "officially" stationed.


Guess so, unless MJH were agreable to it being 'officially' stationed elsewhere...or places it on a site of his own...
