Sola Busca Tarot - Mini Tarot

Another jewel is added to Lo Scarabeo's collection of Mini decks: this time it is the turn of the legendary Sola Busca, one of the oldest decks ever created. Printed in the 16th century, this was the first Tarot to deviate from the iconographic standards established at the time by the famous Visconti-Sforza: the Minor Arcana, illustrated for the first time with scenes similar to those depicted in the Triumphs, are numbered in Arabic numerals, unlike the Major Arcana, which follow Roman numerals - all elements that would inspire Arthur Edward Waite and Pamela Colman Smith to create their iconic deck in the early 1900s. This unique edition was created under licence from the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, the museum that houses the original version of this precious Renaissance deck.
