Mamluk Tarot

This will not be for those who have problems with the ethereal/intangible stuff ‘n’ nonsense in life.

But it’s of interest to me on a few levels.

In 1927, an incomplete set of playing/tarot cards was found in the Topkapi, Istanbul. I’m reading up the literature – apart from the main book written about this which is currently for sale on Amazon at nearly £300. Tut!

Anyways.

Using the mainstream history timeline, these cards were “made” about the same time as the Italian Renaissance started but few people can figure out why.

Mmmmn!

Nice article below.
