The Name Trionfi
in Context with Playing Cards (1441 - 1463)

Document 27

After a relatively long pause of 2 years in 1463 a last commission for Trionfi decks is paid. After it it takes a long time until in the Ferrarese account books Trionfi decks are mentioned again. The reasons for these missing entries is unknown. Perhaps duke Borso lost interests; or Trionfi decks had become cheaper, when done outside of the courts, perhaps cheaper cause of modernized printing techniques.

1463 [31 December – payment to Gerardo di Andrea da Vicenza]

Per manifatura et spessa de avere colorito para quarto de carte da triunfi per zugare per uxo delo Illustrissimo Duca Signore nostro, a lire quarto el paro segondo la tassa consueta montano lire sedese marchesane; resta detrato li soldi dui per lira lire quatordese, soldi otto marchesani, et posto a Spexa, c. 8 …… L.

[Franceschini 1993 n. 1001e (p. 614); cf. Ortalli 1996b:186, 189]
