A true Triumph

This is the most vast site on the history of the Tarot in the world, with a museum, images of cards, profiles of the most important historians and very much more. We believe that everyone, from scholars to simple Tarot enthusiasts, owe the owner of the site, the historian Lothar Teikemeier, the highest gratitude for his profound love of the subject combined with his great competence, having led to the creation unique in its field, exhaustive and continuously updated, thereby facilitating a better transmission of the body of knowledge and the history of the Tarot at an international level. Among other things I believe in the validity of his 5x14 theory on the number of original Trionfi. His conviction, supported by historical documentation, makes Lothar Teikemeier in my opinion a grand Tarot historian.
