Summary: IJJ Tarot pack
Review: After a considerable amount of academic research into the history of the pack I've come - much to my own surprise - to the conclusion that the minor arcana of the IJJ (at least) is a most faithful reproduction of the very earliest traditions in the west, truer even than the Visconti-Sforza's minor arcana. The IJJ Major Arcana may have been equally authentic, but the nineteenth-century card-makers who modernised it let their heads go and there isn't enough left of the original form to be quite sure. (Luckily they didn't spend so much effort on the minor arcana).
