Full 78-Card Tarot Deck
Illuminated Manuscript Tarot
Card Back
✦
Inspired by my love of illuminated manuscripts and in tribute to the scribes of yore, who worked long hours patiently and devotedly to copy lines of text prior to the invention of the printing press. Illuminated manuscripts were called that because of the use of gilt to make them shine and reflect the light.
The illustrations were one of a kind and no two books were ever exactly the same — a beautiful and magical quality that modern manuscripts lack. Most people will never get to see an illuminated manuscript up close, but anyone can enjoy the whimsy and tip of the hat to history with this deck.
