CARDS, playing- square paper. in chinese dictionary-ching-tsze-tung. 1678, it is saidthat cards were invented in the reign of seun-ho. 1120 to amuse his many concubines. india said to have been invented in brahmans. a deck said to be 1000 yrs, preserved in museum of the royal asialic society(but dismissed as modern). also assigned to egyptians. so no known origin, but similarities. at least 1240 in europe. no queen found in earliest eurp cards.earliest unquestionable mention of playing cards is the entry of charles or charhot poupart. treasurer of the household of Charles VI or france. in 1392/3 it says-"donne' a juequennin gringonneur, peintre pour trois jeux de cartes, a oreta diverses, pourporter deversie seigneur roi, pourson ebatement, cinquante- six sds pariris"(all french. BLEGH) from this entry it has hastily been concluded that jacquemin gringoneneu invented cards. (not certain whether G was painters surname or only his designation as a maker of grangons) any traslators? known to some in 14C, but not widely known til late 1300's, but also maybe introduced from arabia to italy in 1379. covellazzo, who wrote in 15th century. oh shit. italian."anno 1379,fu recato inviterbo el gioco della carte, che venne de seracinia, e chiamisi traloro naibu.(in the year 1379 was brought into vertibo the game of cards, which comes from the country of the saracens, + to w/ them called naib). soon after-common. as in 1397, working people forbidden to play at tennis, bowls, dice, cards or 9 pins on working days(+ goofing off was new?)
wood engraved only 1423. but used for cards. earliest suits(german)-hearts, bells, leaves, and acorns. no ace in earliest.
next in antuity. swords, batons, cups, and money. usually italian of the late 15C and now italian and spanish. french cards of 16C have coer?, trefle, piqne? and caaeau???
in last 1/4 of 15C, packs w/ animals, flowers and human figures for marks of suits were engraved on copper and later more variations. (trivia pursuit editions!), but never as popular. court cards-were king, chevalier and knave. italians 1st to add queens. foo. enough!

 

happy valentine's day. if you have somebody. sigh. maybe someday.
