下收一些名詞釋義

The pip cards were conventionally organized, with the repetition of the symbol indicating the value. In tarot cards, however, 21 trump cards, or tarocchi, were added, and these were figural, as in The Courtly Household Cards, with the fool at the bottom leading up to the emperor and pope at the top.

pip cards - 單純顯示圖案及數量的卡，以撲克牌來說就是黑桃A~10，不包含JQK

trump cards - 王牌，不同遊戲會指定不同的王牌，王牌會比起其他牌的地位更高，擁有越多王牌則勝利的機會越高，譬如大老二的王牌就是2們，尤其是黑桃2

這段話有一個重點，在15世紀中葉，塔羅牌只有21張王牌，並且排序是皇帝與教皇在前、愚者墊底

Tarot cards employed the standard Italian suits, with values from 10 to 1 and with four face cards—king, queen, knight, and knave—for a total of 56 cards. Alongside them were a fool (matto), which was a wild card, and the 21 trump cards.

wild card - 百搭牌，作用是可以用來代表任何牌，以湊成某種牌形，通常由鬼牌擔任，而早期的塔羅牌中，愚者就是百搭牌，因此他並不隸屬於21張王牌之中

In The Visconti-Sforza Tarot, the highest trump is the world, followed by the angels. The remaining trump cards, in descending order, are the sun, moon, star, temperance, death, traitor, old man, wheel of fortune, fortitude, chariot, justice, love, pope, emperor, popess, empress, and mountebank, followed by the fool.

在僅存的三副Visconti牌中，王牌的順序各不相同，其中一副牌的順序是世界(21)、天使(審判20)、太陽(19)、月亮(18)、星星(17)、節制(14)、死神(13)、traitor(12)、老人(9)、命運之輪(10)、fortitude(8/11)、戰車(7)、正義(11/8)、愛情(6)、教皇(5)、皇帝(4)、女教皇(2)、皇后(3)、mountebank(1)，最後是愚者(0)
