Material to Petrarca
Michelino Deck with 16 trumps and Greek gods as motifs. Perhaps it mirrors a
direct influence from Petrarca on the first steps of the Trionfi decks. Filippo Visconti seems
to reflect Petrarcas love to the Daphne theme.
Cary-Yale Deck with probably also 16 trumps and a strong preference to the 7 virtues. It might mirror
a second, perhaps even more intensive influence. Filippo seems to reflect Petrarcas 6 Trionfi-chapters in
combination with his personal love to chess.
