Why read it?
1 author picked The Tarot Cards Painted by Bonifacio Bembo for the Visconti-Sforza Family as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When I first started researching the Tarot in the 1980s, there was a lot of misinformation that I had to sift through. Moakley was the author who set me in the right direction.
Writing in the 1950s, when there was a lack of knowledge about the history of the Tarot, she researched its origins in 15th-century Italy but did not ignore the symbolism of the Tarot’s enigmatic imagery. She was the first modern author to relate the Tarot trumps to the Renaissance triumphal parade, in which each character trumps the one who came before.
From Robert's list on historic philosophy and symbolism of the Tarot.
