Inner Cosmos 版The Inner Cosmos edition
塔罗最早是 15 世纪意大利贵族手绘的纸牌。传到法国以后,在 17、18 世纪定型为我们今天说的马赛塔罗——Noblet(约 1650)、Dodal(约 1701)、Conver(1760)这些名字,都是当年刻版印牌的匠人。Tarot began as painted cards for Italian courts in the 1400s. In France it settled into the Tarot de Marseille, carved and printed by craftsmen such as Noblet (c. 1650), Dodal (c. 1701) and Conver (1760).
它的做法很朴素:先在木板上刻出线条,印成黑色,再用镂空模板一层层刷上颜色。连数字都是木刻的写法——4 写作 IIII,9 写作 VIIII。Carve the block, print the line in black, brush colour through stencils. Even the numbers are woodcut: four is IIII, nine is VIIII.
今天大多数人认识的塔罗,是 1909 年在英国出版的韦特塔罗。两副牌长得像,读法却不一样。Most people know Rider–Waite (England, 1909). The decks look alike; they read differently.
韦特给你一个故事,马赛给你一面镜子。Rider–Waite gives you a story. Marseille gives you a mirror.
我们依据 Nicolas Conver,马赛,1760 年的塔罗牌传统重绘。Redrawn after the Tarot de Marseille of Nicolas Conver, Marseille, 1760.
