Modern thought often blends card decks with sin. While the deck and card gambling are not legally banned, this is considered a sin. This is not just the viewpoint of rigid moralists such as religious characters. However, regardless of the popular view, the card deck was an important part of the culture and first of all education. Let's analyze the facts.
Virtually from the second stage in Europe, the deck of cards was used for educational purposes. The cards were used in geographical and historical, juridical and logical lessons, grammar and literature, astronomy, arts and math, military, and heraldry tactic. These are classic examples of the so-called secondary goal use of specialist cards.
Thomas Murner published a book entitled "dreamgaming," made up of training cards used by the monk to teach logic at a Franciscan monk's Bachelor of Theology in Krakow in 1507. Murner was particularly successful in didactics and was actually accused of being witchcraft. However, his advocacy placed before the court proof that the Franciscan techniques were harmless. They also showed that the methods were based on the popular mnemonic methods in the Middle Ages-memorizing with the aid of the images and calling it "reference signals" from modern educators.
Many times before Murner implemented the Code of Justinian in a similar way. In 1502, he wrote Geiler von Kaisersberg that he possibly made the most important contribution to the teaching of the code. In another letter to Thomas Wolf, Strasbourg's counsel, He says: "I confess that I have released a card game for the Kaisersberg Constitution as much as my poor ability permits, and thus managed to make it easy for me to memorize the text of the Justinian Code using the visual images ....
It seems possible that the technique invented by MURNER seemed to be very efficacious for European teaching workers in order to educate the monarchs, for example, Louis XIV. The archbishop of Jardin de Perete from Paris, who taught dauphins, used training cards; for them, the gravure was made by Stefano della Bella, the greatest grave-graver ever. At the age of 6, Louis XIV had four card decks, 'kings of France,' 'metamorphoses,' 'geography' and 'famous kingdoms.' Time, Karl the fantastic (the world nations and the fairy tales written by Lucius Apuleius and Publius Ovidius) discovered in his childhood who the Sun King was (in French Le Roi Soleil). He knew it and only remembered it because of the card deck.
If we want to think carefully about the educational part of the cards, we can't do that in the eleventh century without Chinese and Japanese cards. A distinct type of cards was then developed, a precursor to cards dating from the 18th century. The image on the face side consists of two parts: the upper part of the game consists of a "cherry picking"; the lower part includes a picture from the play of each scene. Toasts have also been reported on the cards: 'give the scholarly guest 2 lunches' or, if necessary, 'let people sitting next to one another drink to each other's wellbeing.'
