Medieval Scapini Deck and Book Set or Kabbalistic Visions Tarot

The faint gold highlights are nice but not critical. As to printings - the ISBNs for the terrible one and my decent but "not as good as the first" one are the same, sadly. It's REALLY hard to know what you are getting.

Here's a thread where several of us tried to nail it down.

From what I saw in your other thread, if you want a qabalistic/kabbalistic deck to really dig into, there are undoubtedly many better choices out there. Your "comet" metaphor really struck me because quite a few decks loom large in our first impression, flash across the sky, and then fizzle out. I've bought a few of those I wish I hadn't.

From what I am reading in your other thread about the Kabbalistic Visions - it may NOT be the best one for studying Kabbalah. But the art is quite something.

Is the book for the Scapini available without the deck?
I thought I'd seen it somewhere, but I can't remember where - and I think it had a different title than the deck?

I had the book ( not the deck ), thought it excellent (one of the best) and wished i Had the deck, I love the art! ( I like kabbalistic visions too, not sure about the kabbalah?, but the art! - and if the kabbalah can inspire good art, then it's sufficient (authentic) enough for me)

The Medieval Scapini got me from the get go --Kabbalistic Visions I was unsure of, to say the least (really disliked some cards), but -- it's appeal has grown
