Du Jeu des Tarots et Recherches Sur les Tarots: from Monde Primitif Book VIII by Antoine Court de Gébelin

How many times have you scoured the internet for information only to be disappointed in the results. That's what happened to me when I tried to find an English translation of Du Jeu des Tarots from Monde Primatif Volume 8 by Antoine Court De Gébelin. This passage is often quoted in texts about the history of Tarot even though the mindset that the Tarot came from Egypt has been discredited. Du Jeu des Tarots et Recherches Sur les Tarots uncovers the sources that most likely contributed to this misconception and to the explanation of how this simple card game transformed into a divination tool.Allow your sense of adventure to lead you down the path of Antoine Court De Gébelin and le Comte de Mellet. Let their stories take you to back to the original use of the cards, when they were used as both a game and a method of divination.
