	COURT - LoveToKnow Article on COURT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In all these courts the king is supposed in contemplation of law to be always present; but as that is in fact impossible, he is then represented by his judges, whose flower is only an emanation of the royal prerogative.
		A court of record is one whereof the acts and judicial proceedings are enrolled for a perpetual memory and testimony, which rolls are called the records of the court, and are of such high and supereminent authority that their truth is not to be called in question.
		All courts of record are the courts of the sovereign in right of the crown and royal dignity, and therefore any court of record has authority to fine and imprison for contempt of its authority (Stephens Blackstone).

	Tarot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since the Egyptianizing ruminations in Le Monde primitif by Antoine Court de Gébelin (1781) which soon inspired the occultism of "Etteilla," it has been believed by many that the Tarot is far older than this.
		De Gébelin first asserted that symbolism of the Tarot de Marseille asserted represented the mysteries of Isis and Thoth.
		While Levi accepted Court de Gébelin's claims about an Egyptian origin of the deck symbols, he rejected Etteilla's innovations and his altered deck, and devised instead a system which related the Tarot, especially the Tarot de Marseille, to the Kabbalah and the four elements of alchemy.

		De Gebelin published his speculations in 1781 in the eighth volume of his multi-volume study of the ancient world, Le Monde primitif in which he begins to designate the occult symbology of the deck.
		De Gebelin is, for example, the one who originated the idea that the 22 Major cards were to be equated with the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
		In an essay by an unknown associate appended to his own account of the tarot, de Gebelin suggested that the tarot be used as a method of divination.

		Antoine Court de Gebelin was in many ways a key figure in the transition from Enlightenment rationalism to the Romantic age and its fascination with the mysterious and the suprarational.
		Court de Gebelin invoked the concept of oriental despotism to condemn French absolute monarchy, an extended parallel that already had a long history by the time of his writing, most notably in the works of Montesquieu.
		Vintras, like Court de Gebelin and Fabre d'Olivet, had thus produced a metahistorical narrative that blended politics and mysticism; but while they had both located the golden age in the distant past, Vintras promised a golden age for the near future, if only the true king could be found and restored to his throne.

		Following upon the initial correlation between Ancient Egypt and the Tarot made by Court de Gebelin, other intellectuals and self-styled historians of Tarot further elaborated the claims of the ancient origins of the cards.
		Instead of casually accepting, for example, the Egyptian theory of Court de Gebelin or the Kabbalistic hypothesis encouraged by Eliphas Levi some fifty years earlier, Waite acknowledged that the history of Tarot could not be traced further back than the 14th century.

		Thoth's book (actually a collection of books) contained not merely all the knowledge that could be known, but also knowledge that couldn't be, or at least that couldn't be acquired by humans without the help of the gods, such as the secrets of men's hearts and the destinies of nations.
		Both Apocalypticism and Egyptomania were products of this same process of historicism, the very basis of the theory that led Antoine Court de Gébelin to examine Tarot, of looking back to the great works of ancient civilizations to find explanations and inspirations for modern concerns and creations.

		This fact is indeed amazing as the tarots did not come about for magic or divinatory purposes; on the contrary, according to many historians, the tarots were developed as a game of chance and their esoteric applications represent a “deviation” with respect to the original project.
		This deviation occurred due to a basic interpretation error which happened at the end of the 18th century, in France, by the mason Antoine Court de Gebelin.
		If it is true that Court de Gebelin was mistaken, attributing the Tarots with an Egyptian origin, it is also true that this mistake occurred in interpreting what some of the Tarot allegories suggested, which actually do have some religious significance.
