Visconti Tarot Book

Originally commissioned to Bonifacio Bembo by Francesco Sforza, Duke in Milan in A.D. 1450, the Visconti Tarots are considered one of the greatest and most extraordinary examples of Renaissance Art. The meaning and history of the beautiful allegories remained a mystery for years, inspiring countless generations to study the Tarot and medieval symbolism. It is rare however that the worlds of art history and divination, so different from one another, walk hand in hand. In this book the esoterist Tiberio Gonard explores the Divinatory meanings of the most ancient Tarot deck in existence, showing the original structure of this complex discipline. Giordano Berti, one of the most important Tarot historian in the work, introduces the scientific and historical research on symbolism and Tarot history, gathered over years of study on the original documents of the Italian Renaissance.
