Antique Arcana
€109.00 EUR
The Minchiate Florentinas (pronounced mine-kia-té) is one of the most unique and fascinating decks ever to emerge from the centuries-old Tarot tradition. Originally designed in Florence at the end of the 15th century, this rare deck differs from the classic tarot structure, containing 97 cards instead of the traditional 78.
The Minchiate is composed of 41 Major Arcana, which include the 12 zodiac signs, the 4 elements, the 3 theological virtues (Faith, Hope, Charity), and Prudence, along with the traditional arcana (though the first six cards from Bateleur to Lover are replaced by Popes).
Because the Minchiate was not prohibited by the clergy (unlike classic tarot), it survived as both a game and an esoteric tool, carrying a unique mystery about its possible occult uses.

🪶 Collector’s Note
The Minchiate Florentine stands among the most elaborate and intellectually rich tarot systems ever conceived. Its 97 cards bridge Renaissance philosophy, astrology, and mysticism — a mirror of Florence’s humanist spirit at the dawn of the 16th century.
Many mysteries still remain as to the "occult" use of this game. Indeed, the classic tarots were prohibited by the clergy, but not the game of Minchiate, as attested by an edict of 1477. Because games of chance were prohibited, as were the strange divinatory uses of tarots ...
This Orbis–Fabbri edition (2000) faithfully reproduces the original engravings in soft, antique tones, preserving the elegance of the early Italian decks while remaining accessible for both collectors and readers.
