He sometimes played at triumph cards. And in this game he took so much delight that he paid for one finished pack of triumph cards one thousand and five hundred ducats. Of this the foremost author and (casone) was Marziano da Tortona his secretary, who with marvellous ingenuity and greatest industry finished this deck of cards with the figures and images of the gods and with the figures of animals and birds which he placed under them.
