| Video Discription | The value of this deck is in Marco's research and the experience of having all these cards at our disposal. The reference to Diogenes, who lived in a barrel, was visited by Alexander the Great. This reference will be clear if you watch the video and the card it references does appear to be an alternate option for either The Hermit or The Sun, (see the next paragraph) although I don't know why anyone would choose this for either the Hermit or Sun since the Estensi cards representing each are extant in the deck. I don't know if this alternate card is from a painting or another tarot deck. As for why the sun features prominently on the card, that is a reference to a conversation they supposedly had. Alexander the Great offered Diogenes riches if he would join his court. Diogenes' curt response was something along the lines of, 'Step aside, you're blocking the sunlight.' Marco contacted me with the following information after showcasing his Gamecrafter v: ersi Hi Marilyn, thank you for you YT video! :-D At the end of the video you owonder about the origin of the cards, here's some information for your reference: I printed all the existing Florentine illuminated cards, nthat is: Charles VI, Ercole D'Este, Alessandro Sforza and 2 decks in Rothschild collection. Charles VI has 16 Majors and Page of swordsMajors are: Il Matto L'Imperatore Il Papa L'Amore La Temperanza La Giustizia La Forza Il Carro L'Eremita L'Impiccato La Morte La Folgore La Luna Il Sole L'Angelo Il Mondo Cards had a numer on top one day, but it has been partially trimmed; on top of Chariot you may see the lower part of a X, 10 in roman numbers. So the deck had a florentine sequence. Ercole D'Este Deck had 8 majors and 8 court cards. I used the Bagatto, mirrored. The other 7 are: Il Matto Il Papa La Temperanza La Stella La Luna Il Sole Il Mondo Court cards: King of Spades (not used) Queen of Spades (Changed to Coins) Knight of Spades (Changed to Coins) Knight of Wands (Changed to Cups) Queen of Wands (Not used) Page of Wands Queen of Cups King of Coins (Changed to Cups) Alessandro Sforza deck has 5 Majors (4 in Catania and 1 in Palermo), 2 court and 10 pip cards I Used the Imperatrice the other 4 are: Il Matto (A naked woman sitting on the back of a stag, formerly believed to be Temperanza) Il Carro L'Eremita Il Mondo Court cards are: King of Swords (Believed to be AS portrait) Page of Cups The deck shared by Rothschield collection and Museum in Bassano del Grappa ha 1 Imperatore (not used) and 8 court cards: Queen of Spades Knight of Spades King of Wands Queen of Wands Knight of Wands Page of Wands (Not used) King of Coins Page of Coins The deck shared by Rothschield collection and Museum Correr in Venice has 27 pips. The 40 pips had been digitally created based mostly on Rothschield/Correr deck, but Spades and Wands have the colors modified like in AS deck. We still miss 4 Majors: Papessa, Ruota della Fortuna, Diavolo and Stella. Actually, we'd have the beautiful Ercole D'Este Star, but this card is part of a Star-Moon-Sun sequence that has its own unity - I like to think that the 3 cards of Ed'E are an allegory of astronomy, astrology and philosophy (Sun characters are Alexander the Great and Diogenes) - and in any case it has the same subject as the Moon of Charles VI. It seems obvious to me that Charles VI is the prototype of the Bolognese Tarot, which we should therefore take as a model for the missing cards. So, for the Star I used the oldest existing sample in Bolognese style, that is the BAR sheets, which I also used for the Wheel of Fortune. Devil: the single card by Agnolo Hebreo (British Museum). The Popess is the only exception to Florentine decks, I used the Visconti Popess of the Fournier Museum, to whom I replaced the cross with a key.
