How did you get to that url, Ludophone? Google doesn't take me ther.. I have been wanting to access certain tarotpedia pages for months. I notice that "web.archive" is the first part of the url. Is there some magic way of getting to such places?

Thanks, Alain. I'm glad you noticed. Your 1+4+7+10 is quite powerful for generating illuminating ways of seeing the sequence.

Cohen shows a 1488 printed triumph of time using a foliot plus hourglass motif, like the c. 1465 Mantua that Phaeded posted. https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3K7-4R3Z0e0/W7pzRBvPlJI/AAAAAAAAMQA/w8uubQVevv4ZJaVmprwrcf4y4-DvCQz-gCLcBGAs/s1600/153894451028003491a.v1.cropped.JPG She says it is a putto on top,...

Good find, Phaeded. That one isn't even included in Cohen's list. Today I cannot find any of her Appendix in the Google Books extracts from the book. Here is a short version of her list, minus the descriptions, for which see the links to the jpg images. I used an ocr program and proofed it. Under Br...

Yes, 1450. That's what I get for trusting my memory and not taking the time to check. It is of course 1450 in Pratesi's note http://forum.tarothistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1082#p16591. And not only that, but December 1450, so late in the year (which ended March 25, if memory serves). Since the d...

Cohen's 1441-c. 1450 Petrarch manuscripts, extracted from her book. Her no. 23: Bibliotecca Medicea Laurenziana Strozzi 174, ca. 1450, Florentine. Given in the text, p. 123, as 1440-1450. However Cohen also says that putti did not figure into the illustrations until around mid-century. This ms. ment...

Most of the relevant pages of the appendix are online at https://books.google.com/books?id=yqQdAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA320&lpg=PA320&dq=petrarch+trionfi+Leiden+BPL+2887&source=bl&ots=bWg7IcmozI&sig=WAG1BkVG70HApbaLam8aEuKGe8E&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj3p4HR3-LdAhU_ITQIHduYCNQQ6AEwAHoECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q=petrarch%...

I had occasion recently to return to the Sola-Busca 3 of Swords, which I analyzed in this thread (http://forum.tarothistory.com/viewtopic.php?p=7946#p7946, in terms of Lippo Lippi's Ecstasy of Augustine before the Trinity , c. 1420-1430, and other Augustinian works on the theme of Augustine in ecsta...

Thanks for this note, Phaeded, putting the "madman" episode in a political context. For anyone new to the forum (since this topic was last discussed in 2016), Phaeded introduced this topic back in Dec. 2014, quoting the same passage translated by Newbigin, for which see Phaeded at http://forum.tarot...

Thanks, Ross. This book seems to be in a library locally.. I will take a look.
