This site is dedicated to offer material useful for the research of Trionfi, Tarocchi or Tarot and other playing cards in 14th/15th and a little bit of 16th century. The Main Object is my own theory about a 5x14-Trionfi-deck in the early stage of development of the Tarocchi, later called the Tarot. The theory is presented still in fragmentarious form under the point about the Pierpont-Morgan-Bergamo deck

Own Articles does present to one part my own special view at the earlier Trionfi documents, which varies in many ways, how this material  has been presented and interpreted by other authors in the past. Also included are articles from Ross Gregory Caldwell, with whom I do cooperate in many research activities - and with the luck of heaven - do coincide in many opinions, which makes cooperation very easy.

In the last monthes other researchers have arrived participating in our activities, so we build groups to concentrate specific themes and do communicate in exhaustive manner - it's hard to say in the end, who should be honored for "writing" an article. Jane Cocker is specific interested in the Boiardo-theme, Mari Hoshizaki engages especially for Ferrara, Raimondo Luberti is our specialist for matters of art and Italian language and with Christine Payne-Towler we find specialities about influences of music in the court life of 15th century. Alain Bougeareal researches Greek influences on Italy in renaissance. Special group sites are the
Boiardo and Ferrara-site

Various themes, which are not included in the list below, are in preparation.

Associated sites present sites of friends or others in the "historical Tarocchi-scene" with at least some very useful informations about the object. Of special worth is the Tarot Time Table of Michael Hurst - don't miss it.

Research Tools is a gathering of useful links to various topics related to the main theme. There are real treasures under them, selected with a critical eye.

At this moment the site is still in fragmentarious form, just to discuss specific contents with friends and others with interests in the early history of Tarot. We're working hard, but probably all will need a little time. So probably you'll find here constantly loose ends, things in development, great plans, which still aren't finished yet. But that's the life in research and we do enjoy it.

It  is my hope, that the site will  soon develop in further aspects, becoming a most timely center of the research of the object. If you're interested to take part in the discussions please
