1440-09-16 // Florence - oldest Trionfi - (4 and 1/2 ducats)
Exported by: Giusto Giusti
Received by: Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta 		February
2012 		Found by Thierry Depaulis in Nerida Newbigin, ed., "I "Giornali" di ser Giusto Giusti d'Anghiari (1437-1482)" in Letteratura Italiana Antica, III, 2002, pp. 41-246.
Reported by Ross Caldwell and expanded by Franco Pratesi in Studies on Giusto Giusti (2012).
New "oldest Trionfi note"

1441 (1 note)

1441-01-01 // , also here // Ferrara - 14 pictures for Bianca Maria Visconti - (2 Lira and 5 Soldi marchesana) [a word like "Trionfi" or similar is not noted]
Ordered and paid by: Leonello d'Este
Received by: Bianca Maria Visconti
From artist: Jacopo Sagramoro
Involved: Galioto de l'Asassino (secretary) 		2003Found by Ross Caldwell during the begin of the work on Trionfi.com in the work of Adriano Franceschini.
A sure confirmation, that these pictures were indeed playing cards, is missing. Nonetheless the document played a greater role in the discussions around the 5x14-theory.

1442 (2 notes, no note in 1443-1444)

1442-02-10 // Ferrara - 4 Trionfi decks - (totally 20 Lira Marchesana)
Ordered and paid by: Leonello d'Este
From artist: Jacopo Sagramoro
Involved: Galioto de l'Asassino (secretary) 		Before
2003		Reported by Giuseppe Campori (1874), "Le carte da giuoco dipinte per gli Estensi nel secolo XV" Atti e memorie delle rr. Deputazioni di storia patria per le provincie modenesi e parmensi_ VII, pp. 123-132 (=pp. 1-18 in the fascicule).
Long time the "oldest note of Trionfi cards".
1442-07-28 // Ferrara - 1 "cheap" Trionfi deck - (12 Soldi and 3 Denari Marchesana = c. 1 Lira in Florence)
Bought from: Marchione Burdochi (merchant from Bologna)
Bought by: Iacomo guerzo famelio (Iacomo "cross-eyed", servant)
Received by: Ercole and Sigismondo d'Este, 11 and 9 years old then 		Before
2003 		Adriano Franceschini, Note d'archivio sulle carte ferraresi, _Ludica_ 2, 1996:172-176
Giuseppe Bertoni, "Poesie leggende cosumanze del medio evo", Modena, Orlandini, 1917: 220 note 3
The facts, that Marchione Burdochi had been a "merchant from Bologna" and that this deck had been long time the cheapest deck, that we knew of in the early time, contributed to the suspicion, that Bologna might have been the first city, which produced Trionfi cards.

1445 (1 note, no note in 1446)

1445-01-23 // Florence - 1 Trionfi deck (Grande / 25 Soldi)
Delivered by: Silk dealers Lorenzo di Bartolo / Matteo di Zanobi
Purchased by: Martino di Giovanni di Pellegrino da Bergamo merciai (Ancona ?) 		March
2012		Franco Pratesi: Naibi sold by by silk-dealers
The first known Trionfi deck outside of the courts for a price, which has a a price close to the price paid to Marchione Burdochi in 1442.
The first noted Trionfi deck in the account books of the two silk dealers, which traded with playing cards from 1431 - 1460.

1447 (1 note, no note in 1448)

1447 August/September // Pier Candid Decembrio writes in his biography of the recently deceased Filippo Maria Visconti about the Michelino deck and calls it not a "Trionfi" deck or similar. Polismagna in the 1460s translates the text and calls it then a Trionfi deck. 2004 Context worked out by Ross Caldwell in 2004.

1449 (2 notes)

1449-11-13 // , also here in the letter // Monselice - In a dedicatory letter of Jacopo Antonio Marcello to Isabelle de Lorraine the Michelino deck is called a Ludus Triumphorum. The letter notes another cheaper Trionfi deck, which was present in a soldier camp near Milan in the "last year" (so 1448/49, likely March 1449) in the presence of Scipio Carafa. Before
2003		 Bibl. nat. lat. 8745, fol. 1r - 32v (1449): Jacopo Antonio Marcello/Martianus de Sancto Alosio "TRACTATUS DE DEIFICATIONE SEXDECIM HEROUM"
Franco Pratesi: THE EARLIEST TAROT PACK KNOWN (1989)
Ross Caldwell: Translation of letter
Trionfi.com: Further Researches
The fact, that Jacopo Antonio Marcello addressed the curious Michelino deck with 16 trumps as a "ludus triumphorum" stands in contradiction to the once farspread exspectation, that "Trionfi decks" always meant decks with 22 trumps and totally 78 cards.
1449-12-09 // Florence - 6 Trionfi decks (11? Soldi)
Acquired by: Silk dealers Lorenzo di Bartolo / Matteo di Zanobi
From artist: Giovanni di Domenico 		April
2012		Franco Pratesi: 1431-1460: Naibi acquired by silk-dealers
First "cheap" Trionfi deck (near to 10 Florentine Soldi; the Florentine Soldi is in this time less than the soldi in the Ferrarese currency, likely about 60%)

Of high importance, cause it's the only document till 1463, which gives information to the structure of the produced Trionfi decks. Both produced decks had 70 cards, and so it had been a confirmation for the 5x14-theory, and not a confirmation for the assumed deck with 4x14 + 22 - structure and 78 cards.
It's the first recorded deck from Gherardo da Vicenza, who dominates the Ferrarese production till 1463, and it are the decks with the highest price in the recorded deals in the period 1440-1462.

The first "high number of Trionfi decks" seems to indicate, that the Trionfi card trade had changed its dimensions. Other high number are known since 1463 and later by the Esch report.

1463 (16 notes)

1463 and later: the Esch report 2007 and its discussions had a big influence on the start of this project.



Esch's material (2007) offers various Trionfi card notes from 1463 and later (with a very relevant import note of 309 decks for the year 1464 and the note to Giovanni Pistoia in 1453), but playing cards didn't get much attention in his work of 2007. Reacting on our demostrated interest, Arnold Esch announced 2012 another work, which appeared in August 2013: Arnold und Doris Esch: Aus der Frühgeschichte der Spielkarte. Der Import von carte da giocare und trionfi nach Rom.
Gutenberg Jahrbuch 2013, 88. Jahrgang, p. 41-53. The article contains 107 Trionfi card notes, from which 106 were new to us, about the same number of documents, which we had collected before. A summary of the results is now provisionally incorporated in this list. 		2007
