Antoine Court de Gebelin (reference article)

Wikipedia's article on Antoine Court de Gebelin, the eighteenth century French writer who first proposed the tarot deck held ancient Egyptian esoteric origins, is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication. It is reliable for standard biographical facts such as his career and his 1781 publication making that claim, and less reliable for evaluating the claim itself, which modern card history scholarship has established as unsupported: the tarot's documented origin is fifteenth century Italian playing cards. Use it for basic biography; the actual history of tarot's origin needs a dedicated card history source.
