Context (Amendments / updates)
The catalogue card lists four packs of cards, however six have been found with this IDNO. Two belong together (Domande e Risposte), two are marked with the IDNO and one was mentioned in the original description. The decision has been made to include the sixth deck within this IDNO under the F suffix, as it is clearly also from Florence. The records have been updated to reflect this.
