Asti Manuscript and Testament de Jerome Sharp
Posted: July 15th, 2017, 6:52 am
Hi,
I was reading the Asti Manuscript in the Gibeciere and Roberto Giobbis essay on the Testament de Jerome Sharp. On page 4 in the Testament de Jerome Sharp Giobbi talks about shuffling a deck of cards and that it is not what is traditionally known as the overhand shuffle, it is rather a type of shuffle that is occasionally known or called the Haymow Shuffle. It seems to me that this is the way the cards are shuffled in the Asti Manuscript when the author talks about shuffling a deck of cards. In the Testament de Jerome Sharp Giobbi writes that in the 18th century France and Europe the cards where shuffled in this way. Does anyone know when the overhand shuffle became the "normal" way of shuffling a deck of cards?
All the best
