-The '''[[Visconti-Sforza Tarot]]''' is used collectively to refer to incomplete sets of approximately 15 [[Tarot]] decks from the middle of the 15th century, now located in various museums, libraries, and private collections around the world.
+'''[[Tycho Brahe]]''' was a Danish astronomer, known for his comprehensive astronomical observations, generally considered to be the most accurate of his time. He was known during his lifetime as an astronomer, [[astrology|astrologer]], and an [[alchemy|alchemist]]. He was the last major astronomer before the invention of the telescope.
-No complete deck has survived; rather, some collections boast a few face cards, while some consist of a single card. They are the oldest surviving tarot cards and date back to a period when tarot was still called ''Trionfi'' cards, and used for playing everyday card games. They were commissioned by Filippo Maria Visconti, the Duke of Milan, and by his successor and son-in-law Francesco Sforza. They had a significant impact on the visual composition, card numbering and interpretation of modern Tarot decks.
+Tycho's view of science was driven by his passion for accurate observations, and the quest for improved instruments of measurement drove his life's work. Tycho was the last major astronomer to work without the aid of a telescope, soon to be turned skyward by [[Galileo Galilei]] and others. Given the limitations of the naked eye for making accurate observations, he devoted many of his efforts to improving the accuracy of the existing types of instrument—the sextant and the quadrant.
-Updated versions of the deck have been published by [[U.S. Games Systems]].
