@GrizzlyKt I've added you to the list here as well. Let me know when you've gotten your deck!

hello thank you for your help i have about 6 different Minchiate decks which one are you going to use please 

[fire cat pickles]

The one most of us have are the Etruria so we should probably use that one.

hi folks does anyone have or know of a resource or book about the Minchiate ive got Brian Williams book which is great thank you for any help

There's this book in the OOP Minchiate kit by Lo Scarabeo but it's rare.

 

The LWB's of bygone Minchiate editions are also helpful but most of them are in Italian. Google Translate is mighty helpful, but questions remain regarding its accuracy.

This is definitely the best one. The LoS book is ok but it is too RWS-based for me.

Same thoughts. When I read the Vitali book, I was surprised since I thought that if anything, the meanings should have hewn closer to the Marseille at least, since they have a more similar provenance. Williams is a scholar through and through, so his book should be bang on the money. Loved reading it - his enthusiasm for Italian art is infectious! 

 

And before I forget, @GrizzlyKt: the Minchiate Al Leone kickstarter last 2021 comes with a promising bilingual book by Amparo Aguirre. Too bad I missed that, though I think they're gonna mass release it eventually anyways? Now that's a book to watch out for.

I have this deck. While the book is quite detailed, unfortunately it is fully in Italian. 😥
