El Tarot Mantegna es un extraordinario sistema simbólico y artilugio imaginal del siglo XV, y también el tarot más antiguo que se ha conservado completo. Fue atribuido erróneamente al artista Andrea Mantegna, pues sus verdaderos autores permanecen en el anonimato. La presente obra contiene información exclusiva y documentada sobre la historia de este tarot en relación con otras barajas; un estudio de su sistema, la interpretación de cada una de sus cartas; así como ejercicios y métodos de lectura. Las imágenes del Tarot Mantegna son una guía mística que ayuda a reconocer nuestro lugar en el cosmos y a recordar nuestro origen divino. Se trata de un juego poético, filosófico y mnemotécnico que nos indica un camino de virtud y de sabiduría. Sus alegorías y símbolos forman parte de la tradición platónica, hermética y astrológica del Renacimiento. Fue concebido como un sistema de escritura interno, motivado por la concepción alejandrina de los jeroglíficos egipcios, cuyo inventor es el dios Hermes-Thot. El sistema e iconografía de este tarot inspiró a los creadores del Tarot de Marsella, así como a diversos artistas y pensadores.

"A profusely illustrated history of the occult nature of the tarot from its origins in ancient Persia. The origins of the tarot have been lost in the mists of time. Most scholars have guessed that its origins were in China, Egypt, or India. Huson has expertly tracked each symbol of the Minor Arcana to roots in ancient Persia and the Major Arcana Trump card images to the medieval world of mystery, miracle, and morality plays. A number of tarot historians have questioned the use of the tarot as a divination tool prior to the 18th century. But the author demonstrates that the symbolic meanings of the Major Arcana were evident from the time they were first employed in the mid-15th century in the popular divination practice of sortilege. He also reveals how the identities of the court cards in the Minor Arcana were derived from a blend of pagan and medieval sources that strongly influenced their interpretation in tarot divination."--Publisher marketing.
