Jean-Michel David

Jean Michel David is moderator and co-founder of the Historical Forum at Aeclectic.net. Jean-Michel David's main focus of research is on Marseille deck depictions and its possible reasons for the specific iconography included. Two main areas of research and interest lie, on the one hand, in the similarities between the iconography of the Marseille and late mediaeval French Lumiere ('Gothic') Cathedral stone carvings, especially as found in the northern French cities of Amiens, Reims, Paris, Chartres and Strassbourg; and on the other with the crypto-Jewish influence in southern France on possible Huguenot influences on the stabilisation of the Marseille pattern.
He is one of the early members of Aeclectic and one of the earliest and longest established moderators. Specifically, he currently moderates four forums on Aeclectic: the Historical Forum, the Marseilles, the Kabalah and Alphabetic Forum, and the Books and Media section. Jean-Michel has also included some of his research in discussion posts in Aeclectic's tarotforums, as well as in some of the Newsletters of the Association for Tarot Studies, of which he is a founding member. On behalf of the Association for Tarot Studies, Jean-Michel is co-ordinating the organisation of the 2005 International Tarot Conference. Of interest is also his involvement in undertaking the re-publication of Robert O'Neill's Tarot Symbolism , expected to be released by December 2004.

----------

In the case, you don't it: Aeclectic.net and it's Tarot History Forum are a very nice developed place to engage in discussions which much comfort, thanks the well organizing webmaster Solandia and frienly moderators like Jean-Michel (jmd is his short sign). Members of LTarot, our own history group, appear there frequentially.
