It seems to me that your cut-off of 1500 or so prejudges the situation. Since you include "minchiate" as one of the tarot words, it is important to know that that word has a longer known history than the "tarocchi" form. This is important because it may well be that "tarocchi" became to the 78 card deck as "minchiate" already was to a deck with more trumps than that, the names for both games playing on words for "fool" or "foolish" (minchione = fool). "Minchiate" words go back at least to 1466, the Pulci letter to il Magnifico-to-be. Although the original of the Pulci letter is lost, the plausibility of its existence is enhanced by two other occurrences of "minchiate" just slightly later in the same century. For 1477 see Pratesi in The Flaying-Card, Vol. 19, No. 1 (1990) pp. 7-17, at http://naibi.net/A/30-PRISECO-Z.pdf. For 1471 see his article in L'As de Trefle, No. 52 (1993) pp. 9-10, at http://naibi.net/A/51-JURON-Z.pdf.
I have translated Pratesi's "1499-1506: Nuove Informazione sulle carte fiorentine" at http://pratesitranslations.blogspot.com ... on-on.html. This translation supersedes the one I did originally on THF.
Re: Trionfi.com: News and Updates
442I've added your translation info to the list, thanks.
I had the intention to make an easy list just for the interest of the research idea of vh0610. It's better, if one has an overview of the first examples of Tarochi, Tarocchi etc., if one considers ideas, how it came to the name Tarot. It's somehow astonishing, that we have just such a few examples in the years 1500-1530.

https://books.google.de/books?id=7GFYAA ... l"&f=false
In this text of Beyschlag, 3 years later (1798) than the other (1795) , Beyschlag improves his position (Karnöffel 1502).
Card playing in Nördlingen is according Beyschlag not existent before 1426. Then it is acording the note, which I found in another text connected to the year 1416 (which is apparently a typo, 1426 is correct at least according Beyschlag in 1798).
1416 is WRONG, 1426 is CORRECT
3 prisoners, one for card playing, another for Hölzlin (which should be a sort of table game) in 1426
Karnöffel in 1426 should be WRONG
Correct (according Beyschlag 1798) is, that there were punishment cases cause of card playing in 1436, 1439 and 1440. In 1440 something shall have happened, which looked like an allowance). Card playing for the city rulers happened for the first time in 1456 (possibly that, what was given to 1426 in the earlier version, possibly with Karnöffel; Beyschlag doesn't give details). He thinks, that he has a price for cards in 1461: "umb drü Cartenspiel zum Gensmal XII "bot""

Johannes Müller, 72 years old, tells in 1824 his life. He worked in an archive and cooperated with various persons who used the archive, between them also the teacher Beyschlag. When Beyschlag went from Nördlingen to Augsburg, Müller got the papers of Beyschlag, which were related to Nördlingen. Likely also the papers about playing cards in Nördlingen. Müller describes the relationship to Beyschlag as very friendly. Beyschlag was still alive, when the book was printed. If Müller would have added nonsense to the text, he would have had a critical response.
So one should assume, that Müller didn't add nonsense.

He notes his relations to a grandson of Johannes Müller, who gave him access to some material of his grandfather. It stays an open question, which relation C. Beyschlag has to the earlier teacher Beyschlag, possibly he is a son (?).

Top: At the left side is Karl IV with Saint Sigismondo, at the right side the young Wenzel with the Saint Wenzel. At the lower half is the sponsor and 4 patrons of Bohemia, the Saints Prokop, Albert, Veit and Ludmilla. The text gives 1370 as the date, but the size of the young Wenzel gives the suspicion of a 15-years-old boy (Wenzel was born 1361).Die um 1370 entstandene Votivtafel zeigt oben links Kaiser Karl IV., mit prächtigem Ornat und Krone, vor Maria und dem Christuskind. Rechts kniet sein Sohn, der junge König Wenzel; hinter dem Kaiser der hl. Sigismund, hinter Wenzel dessen Schutzpatron, der hl. Wenzel. In der unteren Bildhälfte ist der Stifter der Tafel, Erzbischof Johann Očko von Vlašim, zu sehen mit den böhmischen Landespatronen, den Heiligen Prokop, Albert, Veit und Ludmilla (von links).

Karl IV shall be the middle king of the 3 holy kings. Possibly the Diptychon was made for the journey to Rome in 1355.In der Anbetung der Heiligen Drei König auf dem so genantnen Morgan-Diptychon ist als mittlerer König Kaiser Karl IV. dargestellt.
