	Occitan Language
		The name Occitan is derived from the geographical name Occitania, which is itself patterned after Aquitania and the characteristic word oc and includes the regions of Limousin, Languedoc, the old Aquitaine, and the southern part of the French Alps, all of the populations of which are Occitan-speaking.

		Although most of Occitania was added to the territory of the French crown by the 15th century (excepting English holdings), the French language did not begin to supplant Occitan for some time.

		Occitania is much closer to the real tarot, and there are plenty of cultural contacts to draw on, but both iconography and documentary sources fail this hypothesis, so far.
		Curious to find out more I found only this, (which most history of paper sites ommitted entirely):"France owed the establishment of her first paper-mills to Spain, whence we are told the art of paper making was introduced, as early as the year 1189, into the district of Hérault." from history of paper (http://www.manufactura.cz/paper.htm)
