A rare reproduction of the historic Etteilla tarot from 19th century Paris
Step into the origins of tarot divination with Tarot Etteilla AA19, a beautifully restored historical deck from the Anima Antiqua collection by Lo Scarabeo.
This limited edition deck reproduces a 19th-century Paris print of the famous tarot created by Jean-Baptiste Alliette, one of the most influential figures in the history of cartomancy.
Born in Paris in 1738, Etteilla devoted his life to the study of astrology, alchemy, and divination. He is widely recognised as the first professional tarot reader in history, and his work helped shape the foundations of modern tarot practice.
A Historic Tarot Tradition
Unlike later tarot systems, Etteilla’s deck was specifically designed for divination. His work combined tarot symbolism with other occult sciences he studied throughout his life, creating a unique and unconventional reading system.
This reproduction captures the character and symbolism of the original deck, offering both collectors and readers the opportunity to explore one of tarot’s earliest systems.
Anima Antiqua Limited Edition
As part of the Anima Antiqua series, this deck has been carefully reproduced as a philological facsimile of the historic printing.
Only 3,999 copies of this edition have been produced, making it a valuable addition to any tarot collection.
The accompanying booklet by tarot historian Giordano Berti provides insight into the symbolism and historical context of the deck.
