| “Yet among invented games are ‘pages’, in which, while being played, certain traces of learning are even found, as in Tarots, and in those which are printed together with the sentences of the sacred scriptures and philosophers, by the printer Wechel of Paris. Human desire squanders all the rest, along with those like them, where money comes in the middle, and that desire is going to be felt.” Pierre Gregoire, Syntagma Juris Universi, (Lyons, 1597) Pars III, Lib. XXXIX, c. 4 p. 11. |
