Name change Minchiate to Germini: Name change of games was quite common according Schreiber. I remember the explaining argument, that local game prohibitions stimulated new names for old games (possibly not from Schreiber) . Cucu had other names.

The words "Triomphi" and "minchiatar" appear in context in a poem around 1440 (unclear date). The meaning of this occurence is unclear (the pa...
