51In the case of the scythe regarding the XIII card of Dodal it is clearly cut off
The Universe is like a Mamushka.
The whole point with the Death card is that he would have cut off the scythe, and THAT is why it was not titled. Noblet, who titled everything, titled Death. He didn't seem to think it was a problem. Nor the Tarot de Paris who had no problem putting a title on his images. They are almost certain "new" drawings that were created right from the start with the intention of putting on titles and numbers, so the area was built in to the template. The difference with the Dodal is that he is reusing an older card and so he struggles with the titles because the older card he is using to create his deck doesn't have the title and number areas... like the Sforza Castle.EUGIM wrote:In the case of the scythe regarding the XIII card of Dodal it is clearly cut off
Well... (you're not going to like this)...EUGIM wrote:Okay Robert,agreed about this.
But why the engraver first fit the image having in mind that then he must number and name the card ?
Simple as this my dear friend.

Even if not, I would say that the Sforza Castle World would be a copy of an image where it was.
I simply can't believe it could go the other way around, where the maker of the Sforza Castle World started out with a Dodal type deck and then REMOVED the titles and numbers and replaced it with image???!!! Nope. No way. The image was first, the titles and numbers were later.
Yes, I believe that is why the title was not added, because he felt that it would be too damaging to the iconograpy to have to cut out that much of the scythe to add the title in.EUGIM wrote:Wait,you told me this :
"On Death he leaves the title off so that he doesn't have to cut off the scythe. "
The Heri is peanuts? Great! Then you won't mind sending me scans of the images so that I can confirm that it isn't an important piece of the puzzle?Yves Le Marseillais wrote:
