"The Sola Busca tarocchi is a set of fifteenth-century copperplate engravings and is considered to be the first complete 78 card tarot deck in the world. But I had long suspected that the Sola Busca tarocchi was not intended to be used for divination purposes, or even as a game. This certainly begged the question of what exactly was its purpose...." -Nadya Q. Chishty-Mujahid ("Preface")
