1527 and 1530: Notes of Philibert in Italy
Philibert of Chalon, called prince of Orange
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philibert_de_Chalon
discussed at
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=747&p=10702&hilit=philibert#p10702
Philibert fights for the German emperor in Italy. The notes refer to events in Italy.

1529. Two letters of Agrippa of Nettesheim, which inform, that Agrippa had a dog with the name "Tarot". As this dog might have been in 1529 relative old (he's in two cases the first, which is named of totally 7 dogs), the name of the dog might reach back to Agrippa's time in Italy (late 1510's).
The matter was discussed:

The work seems to be (at least in parts) a translation from "Paradossi, cioè sentenzie fuori del comun parere, novellamente venute in luce, la cui edizione princeps, contrariamente all’espressione ‘novellamente venute in luce’, apparve a Lione per i tipi di Giovanni Pullon da Trino nel 1543" by Ortensio Lando, which was discussed recently by Andrea Vitali:

.... in Italian language.
Paradossi (Ortensio Lando), version of 1550:
http://books.google.de/books?id=CiA8AAA ... sC&f=false
The relevant chapter is Nr. 5
Interestingly I found the word Tarault in a work of 1554 of Estienne:
http://books.google.de/books?id=wCU6AAAAcAAJ
... at page 357. I can't see any relevance to Tarot.
A further "Tarault" I found in the Robert Estienne (not Charles) dictionary from 1557 "Dictionariolum puerorum":
http://books.google.de/books?id=oRmb7d2 ... &q&f=false
"ung Tariere, ou Tarault, Terebra. Alii Terieri, Alii Terelle". In a 1549 edition: "Tariere"

1557. The deck of Catelin Geofroy in Lyon is dated to 1557 by an inscription on one card.

1559. According own research the Tarot de Paris should be dated to 1559.

1559. A playing card trader in Rome sells his business with various items. Beside Italian cards he also offers French playing cards, but no French Tarot cards.

1570, November: A heavy earthquake in Ferrara, Italy. It might be assumed, that playing card production in Ferrara (likely of greater importance for the Tarocchi development) was disturbed, and that this reason possibly raised French interests to replace the Ferrarese production.

1572. First recorded version with participation of Pierre de Larivey, Champenois.
Les Facecieuses nuictz du Seigneur Iean François Straparole. Avec les fables & Enigmes, racontees par deux ieunes Gentilz-hommes, & dix Damoiselles. Nouuellement traduictes d'Italien en François par Iean Louueau. (Le Second et dernier livre des Facecieuses nuicts du Seigneur Iean Straparole.

1576. Paris. Tarot (Champenois (Straparola) ; MA 132) ... Ross
Notes Huck: Straparola lived till 1557, the work possibly wasn't finished. A first edition is recorded for 1541, the next follows in 1550. A first French translation is recorded by worldcat for 1560 by Louveau
"Les Facecieuses nuictz du seigneur Ian Francois Straparole... Nouuellement traduittes d'Italien en François, par Ian Louueau.:. (Ep. déd. de Rouillé à F. Rogier).
by Gian Francesco Straparola; Jean Louveau"
http://www.worldcat.org/search?q=au%3As ... umber_link
A first participation of Pierre de Larivey is recorded by worldcat for 1572.
The biography of Pierre de Larifey records: "In 1572, he accompanied François d'Amboise into Poland, on a diplomatic mission and would return the year later for the crowning of the Duke of Anjou (future king Henry III) elected King of Poland."
This seems to indicate, that he was close to Henry III. and to Louis Gonzaga, both with some suspicion to have promoted the Tarot game in France.

1574: The future French king Henry III, who returns back from his position as King of Poland, visits Italy and Northern Italian cities, between these also Ferrara, which still fights to overcome the consequences of a big earthquake in 1570. The journey and the Italian visit might have triggered the high French interest in the Tarot game in France during the reign of Henry III.

Histoire des villes vieille et neuve de Nancy
By Jean Jacques Bouvier, also called Abbé Lionnais
This also reports about the Catelin Geoffroy notes from Lorraine, but the interesting part is, that this author takes it as necessary to explain his readers, what Tarot is. These cards, so the author, come from Allemands and Suisse. The book is from 1811, but it might have written earlier. A first publication of the author I found for 1767 (so the author might have been dead in 1811. He may have been contemporary to Gebelin, perhaps somebody finds better data.

I found this curious, why the game of Tarot appeared in a book about plants. I remembered, that some French playing cards had plants as motifs. Were there also Tarot cards with plants?
Bertrand notes: "basically it says that Spanish found the "Indians" used some leaves as paper, and that after the Spanish used said leaves to make playing cards, so Tarot is cited as an example of cards"

This seems of special interests, as it somehow reports, that the French king Charles IX had prohibited Tarots (and some other game) at his court. But a closer research had the result, that the ordonnance of 1566 was against "hasard" and Tarot wasn't mentioned.

Some of your new additions, a lot perhaps, do not refer to the game of Tarot at all, but rather to persons and place names.

I just happened upon this one, for instance

"Tarot" is a place here, not the card game at all.

Your list runs the risk of becoming a messy hodge-podge of irrelevant data.

And it's better I've one too much than a good one missing. Surely there are readers, who read French better than me. It's a running project with improvisation.

Sure. Perhaps it's better, when you find them, to put the quote or image up, so it can be seen immediately. Or at least put ones you are not sure of, or completely new, in a different colour so we can know at a glance what needs checking.

Here is the note from Dummett, Il Mondo e l'Angelo, p. 133 and note 44 (my translation):

"In the same year [1579], a Protestant consistory in Saint-André, near Toulouse, denounced some soldiers for having played Tarot.

(Note 44) See Janine Garrisson-Estèbe, Protestants du Midi : 1559-1598 (Toulouse, 1980), p. 314 note 82: the soldiers were denounced for 'tarots et jeux dans la maison du capitaine Pierre Jehan.' [Tarot and games in the house of Captain Pierre Jehan] Protestant ministers were against all games."

Hello,

Avignon is at this time not part of France.
About relevant data or not, it should also be noted that although a part of the Papal states, Avignon was entirely included within France borders, hence anything coming in or from Avignon would have been present in France at some point - so I don't really see the point of this precision.

Bertrand
Provence became France in 1481 ... I think, it wasn't so clear in 1505, that this state would endure more than 500 years in the year 1505. The situation was so, that cardinal Giulio Rovere was regent in Avignon ... since maybe 1474/75 or something like this. He had serious trouble with the pope Alexander VI short after 1492 and was a driving force for the attack of Charles VIII on Naples and Italy. And later for the attack on Milan in 1499. Giulio Rovere became Pope Julius in 1503, and he had an alliance with France. Surely he had then a new cardinal in Avignon, but likely he still had a lot of influence there in 1505. In Giulio's time as cardinal the playing card production in Avignon flourished. When he left, there occurred cases of bankrupt in Avignon, especially, when Julius decided to attack the French army in Italy in 1510. This had a natural political logic.
Would you say, that these decks in 1505 were French decks imported to Piedmont/Italy in 1505? And all the decks produced in Milan in 1505 were all also French decks, cause France had occupied Milan, and naturally it was considered, that this would be so also for 500 years?

The frontiers were floating.
And the French hadn't an interest in Tarot, cause it used an Emperor, and the Emperor was not a French king.

Not at all, and I'm having hard times figuring how you came to this delirious proposition so I won't try any harder.

I simply meant what I wrote : that Avignon, although part of the Papal States, was entirely within France borders, because I don't see the point in adding this to the chronology except if you mean to imply something about tarot circulation which then would need to be precise about Avignon location at the time ; so maybe, MAYBE, you should simply get rid of the "Avignon wasn't part of France" because anyone who has a serious interest in Tarot is normally aware of that - maybe you found out recently and were so amazed that you thought it was worth mentionning.
Or maybe you should continue doing this how you fancy, which will eventually lead to a huge unreadable list full of irrelevant data mixed with your extremely personal opinions like
the French hadn't an interest in Tarot, cause it used an Emperor, and the Emperor was not a French king.
