Ross, Huck, Kwaw & Cerulean,

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Quote:

ROSS:...but I'm going to translate all of these and make them available to English readers on the web.

A mammoth task! But will be very much appreciated by me.

Anyone with access to the venerable journal "Archaeologia", volume 8 (1787) can assist this project of collecting 18th century historians of playing cards. There are three articles in English on playing cards there -

Barrington, Daines, "Observations on a picture by Zuccaro from Lord Falkland's collection supposed to represent the Game of Primero". pp. 133-146

Bowle, John, "Observations on card-playing By the Reverend Mr. Bowle. In a letter to the Hon. Daines Barrington". pp.147-151

Gough, Richard, "Some observations on the invention of cards and their introduction into England". pp. 152-164

This article in the same volume might mention playing cards -

Willett, Ralph, "Observations on the origin of printing. In a letter to Owen Salusbury Brereton" pp. 239-250

The most important study of the 18th century. Not available on the internet.

I recently found this book at books.google.com. The lettertype makes it hard to read, even if you know the German language.

Le bische e il giucco d'azzardo a Venizia, 1172-1807
Author: Giovanni Dolcetti
Publisher: Manuzio
Year: 1903
Language: Italian

http://www.archive.org/details/lebis...giuc01dolcgoog

Not all possible ways to see the text work very well.
I recommend DJVU in the Menu.

The text has a lot about prohibitions ... only occasionally about playing cards
