Siena: Playing Card Notes

• 1377 (2nd earliest entry in Italy): "Siena Stat. No. 42 (Iudex) f. 95, e No. 43, f. 45: 'Ludens ad naibos puniatur sicut luderet ad zardum' 1377, VI Novembris". (Ludovico Zdekauer, "Il Giuoco in Italia nei secoli XIII e XIV e specialmente in Firenze" (Archivio Storico Italiano IV, XVIII (1886) p. 64; rpt. in Zdekauer, "Il Gioco d'Azzardo nel Medioevo Italiano", Salimbeni, Firenze, 1993 p. 61).
  A statute of the city of Siena on 6 November 1377 states that "Playing cards will be punished the same as if playing dice". (Note Ross Gregory Caldwell)
  Schreiber (1937) doesn't note the entry of Siena (note autorbis).
