This exceptionally rare Papus Tarot Divinatoire set is the first re-edition of the original 1909 Papus tarot, published by Éditions Dusserre in the early 1980s. This is not a modern reproduction, but a historically faithful re-edition made for serious students of occult science and cartomancy.

The deck contains the complete set of 80 cards (78 traditional arcana plus 2 additional cards), printed in a large format (78 × 120 mm) on very thick cardstock with square corners, exactly as intended for study and ritual use. The structure follows Papus’ original esoteric system, designed as a rigorous tool for initiates familiar with symbolic, kabbalistic, and occult correspondences.

Included is the original French-language booklet, explaining the philosophical and symbolic foundations of the deck. The original Papus tarot is preserved at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, making this edition one of the closest accessible versions for collectors and practitioners.

Condition is excellent considering the age. Cards are clean and well preserved; the booklet is in very good condition. The box shows visible wear on the back, as shown in the photos.

🪶 Collector’s Note
This Dusserre Papus Tarot is a cornerstone piece for advanced tarot collectors and esoteric historians. Unlike later commercial reproductions, this early 1980s edition was produced with scholarly intent and limited circulation. Its size, thickness, and square corners mark it as a deck meant for study rather than casual reading. Copies in complete condition are increasingly difficult to find, making this a museum-grade acquisition for serious connoisseurs of occult tarot.
