New at Trionfi.com

Thanks, jmd.

The page works fine to me. Perhaps a momentary insecure state of net or browser? Any other voices?

The decks list at the beginning is rather long. Although it mostly comes in time, it might occasionally take a little longer. Splitting the list is not necessarily the better way.

Andrea Vitali's articles show most of the very old tarot pictures, so it's part of our project to get all old Tarot cards on the web. They are accompanied by worthful icongraphical analyses and some corresponding pictures of general Italian art (and it's also our interes to collect more of these corresponding pictures.

Now there are 7 motifs considered:

A strange and some important cardplay was produced in 1509 by Mathias Ringmann. It had the function to teach Latin Grammar and uses Tarot-like figures like King, Queen, Cupbearer (similar to Magician), Fool, bell-ringer, priest, monk and figures for the gender.

The figures appeared in a book. It was translated by Kenneth Mayer.

Mantegna - Tarocchi

In the moment we focus our activities on the socalled Mantegna-Tarocchi.
In the next days various articles will appear, they will contain various new material and new hypotheses to this topic. Perhaps the presentation will confuse a little bit, as it the theme is "still under research".

Momentary there is:

Lazzarelli 1466 - includes a lot of material to Lazzarelli's early sponsor Foscarini, who had some contacts to Jacopo Antonio Marcello, a man of great importance in matters of the Michelino deck.

to Marcello

Gombosi's article 1933 and Kenneth Clark's letter (also 1933)

Material to Eastern 1484 or 1485
http://trionfi.com/0/g/82/
important for Lazzarelli in the years 1484/85


suggested the idea, that Angelo da Parrasio (working in Ferrara 1447 - 1456) was the author of the Mantegna-Tarocchi

Lazzarelli and the Mantegna Tarocchi

Various articles to the theme
