I've a question about the passage, in which Petrarca talks about gaming
(Kaplan reports about it and states, that he didn't talk about playing cards)
Anybody?
Re: Questions ...
2It is Dialogue 31 of De remediis.
I don't think this source is very reliable, but that's where Petrarch's remarks are.

4Thanks ...
I also don't know, what the first is about ..
the second link is worthwhile.
I didn't note anything about chess till now ... ... if chess really is missing, then I don't know, why the "missing playing cards" should have any meaning.
