Enchanting and Intriguing! I just received this deck and kit today. Although I own ALOT of tarot decks I have never seen anything quite as magnificent and beautiful as this Universal version of the Marseille tarot. Let me tell you why!Its beauty and enchantment lies in its pure simplicity of ancient design. The faces and figures seem to capture each singly, a mystery all their own from an era long perished; even though these cards were quite familiar to Europeans back in the 17th century and prior till!

Claude Burdel 1751, recoloured by Lee Bursten This is one of three Marseille tarot decks produced by Lo Scarabeo in Italy. This one is a recoloured version of the deck drawn by Claude Burdel in 1751. This makes it one of the oldest available Marseille decks, much older than the versions of Grimaud (1898) or Paul Marteau (1930), but not as old as the decks by Jean Noblet (1650) or Jean Dodal (1701-1713).If you want one of those older decks: Cartamundi have produced a recoloured version of the Dodal deck, but the recolouring is not very sympathetic – if you were going for an older deck, then the colouring would be important to you. In this case, you have to go to the hand-coloured works of Jean-Claude Flornoy.This deck also appears under the ISBN 0738709506: .
