[edit] Description
The Tarot de Nostradamus, also known as the "Tarot des Centuries", is a 20th century Marseilles-style deck which is based on a combination of the J.P. Payen deck from 1713 (Borvo collection), and a 17th-century French manuscript (called the "Planche de Verderonne") found by the French magician Dominique Webb.
The names of several cards have been changed: Le Bateleur became "BRANCHUS", L'Empereur became "AENOBARB", Le Pape became "GRAND PASTOR", La Justice became "LA BALANCE", card XIII gets a name "LYBITINE", Temperance became "LE VERSEAU", La Lune became "SELYN", Le Soleil "AEMATHIEN" and Le Diable "LANTECHRIST".
