1-Only on Vieville LE MAT not named as in the old style,and not numbered,I see his donkey ears untied as only as I know as on Charles VI and on Van den Borre deck.
Also in the end of his backpack stick there is a face with donkey ears,not an end of a spoon as on others decks.
The topic about donkey ears drives me to the that sort of donkey on X card LA ROVE DE FORTVNE,but on Vieville it s ears are untied as on Noblet deck(Both deck done around 1650 as we know.)
On the contrary both ears are tied on Dodal,Chosson and Conver,for example.
I see a link between both cards.
As in one only case as I know (Van den Borre case after somewhat 100 years after and we know he is a somewhat son of him ) .
2-Also on Vieville s LE MAT he goes out of the sequence cards of the deck and also his XIII and XV.I mean they go to the left so Out of Tarot sequence.
Didn t my respected Michael Hurst said "Sequence conveys meanings ".
Could be this implicate that there is a connection between both cards,I mean LE MAT and X ?.
May be on a second reading there is a link with also XIII ( Cleaning work doing for temper the new ours matter a work to do by XIIII card) and XV card (The Matter itself ) so then purified by the fire of the Alchemic furnace on XVI and after this returning to the "Water of life" on XVII card ?
Well for me really is and I so believe it,that Vieville LE MAT is a Master synthesis of the WORK DONE after reached XXI.
So he returns to "Ours World " outside tarot sequence to teach Us.
But he dress himself as a Fool... / Why ? -We know what could occurs if he don t looks as a Donkey ... (As equal as Before with "Ours and other Cultures LE MAT ).
Comes to my mind Visconti LE MAT with his feathers as a subtle allegory of Mercury the Gods Messagers.
Isn t he after the cards sequence ?
Another or again I strongly point that Tarot of Marseilles is an structure of LE MAT + 21 Images Cards.
Not 22 Images cards.
We have of 22,one not numbered LE MAT so for me with no physical place on the sequence and the other XIII not named so for me Death is there but as no named I understand it (Death) relate here to a death of ours emotional and mental death.
So as Flornoy clearly said talking about Noblet XIII why don t name Death as Death ? / I understand him on a physical sense.
