I'm curious, if we were to build a 15th century divination system to read the tarot with, what do we think it might have looked like?
Would it have used Numerology? If so, any ideas what system(s) might have been used?
Would it have used Elements?
Humours?
How might the suits have been read?
What might a 15th Century divination system have looked like in Italy or France? Would there be a difference between a "scholarly" system and a "folk" system?
Can we (re)construct a system or two or three that, should someone have chosen to, might likely have been used at the time?
