This atlas cites it for the ordinary numeral shorthand used to name tarot pip cards in card game literature, such as "2 of Coins," a convention distinct from the spelled-out card names used in divination writing.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (79 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested3Tier 3 because this is a long running enthusiast reference site maintained by one cataloguer rather than an academic or editorially peer reviewed publication. Reliable for the specific, checkable card game terminology and numbering convention cited here, not for claims about tarot's divinatory or esoteric history.NotesWell-attestedNo single publication year: this is a continuously maintained web reference, each game page revised on its own schedule (the Piedicavallo Tarocchi page cited here was last revised 26th October 2011). Not peer reviewed and not an academic press, but long maintained by a knowledgeable card game historian and widely cited in card game scholarship and by other reference works. The atlas uses it narrowly, to ground the ordinary digit-plus-suit shorthand for tarot pip cards, which is the card game tradition's own convention and distinct from the spelled-out prose divination sources use.CitationAuthorWell-attestedJohn McLeodPublisherWell-attestedpagat.comURLWell-attestedhttps://www.pagat.com/tarot/Source TypeWell-attestedreferenceClaims Backed By This Source (79 claims)This source backs 79 claims across the atlas.
