The Minchiate Florentinas - The Minchiate Tarot 2001 - Highly collectible deck

The Minchiate Florentines is one of the most fascinating and rare decks in the centuries-old Tarot tradition. Originating in Florence at the end of the 15th century, this historical deck stands apart from the classic 78-card Tarot, offering a unique set of 97 beautifully illustrated cards.

This exceptional edition by Orbis Fabbri (2000) faithfully reproduces the intricate artwork and expanded symbolism of the original Minchiate.
It contains:

41 Major Arcana, including the 12 Zodiac signs, the 4 Elements, the 3 Theological Virtues (Faith, Hope, Charity), and Prudence.

The first six classic arcana (from The Magician to The Lovers) are replaced by "Popes", a rare historical feature.
