Peter Mark Adams | Game of Saturn: The Sola-Busca Tarot, Bloodlines, & The Demiurge Deal
Sola Busca Tarot Structure, Artistic Quality and Missing Provenance
The Sola Busca deck is the oldest complete tarot-style deck in existence, though it differs significantly from traditional tarot trumps. Created by a Renaissance master engraver, the deck is notable for its high artistic quality and the complete absence of Christian imagery, which was highly unusual for the 15th century. The deck's provenance remains a mystery, as its whereabouts for 300 of its 500-year history are entirely undocumented.
