The tarot of Jean Noblet was made in Paris in 1650. According to Stav Appel (Torah in the Tarot), this particularly small tarot (5.7 9.2 cm) was designed to provide Hebrew instruction to French Jewish children in a context of religious oppression. Indeed, during the 17th century, Jews were particularly persecuted by the French regime which prohibited the practice of Judaism in France. The Jews were therefore compelled to conceal their teachings. It is in this political-religious context that the tarot of Jean Noblet would have seen the light. In order to continue the education of young Jews, one or more members of the Parisian Jewish community would have ordered from the engraver and cartier Jean Noblet a Marseille tarot which would contain a large number of Hebrew symbols. This is the reason why the iconography of this tarot does not correspond to the standard of the TdM type 1 or the standard of the TdM type 2.
