"What is a Besançon deck? It’s a traditional Tarot de Marseille with Jupiter and Juno substituting for the Papesse and Pope. Besançon was just one of several cities where the deck was manufactured, but this name stuck to the style. The story has been that the religious figures on a pack of playing cards offended Catholics, so card makers were required to put something else on the deck. Actually, the altered deck proliferated in the predominantly Protestant areas of eastern France, southwestern Germany and Switzerland. Evidently Protestants didn’t enjoy looking at iconic Catholic figures while playing cards." (Sherryl E. Smith, 2017, [ Ссылка ])
".... this story starts in Strasbourg around 1715 with Pierre Lachapelle (Strasbourg, 1725). Then, many french and german cardmakers produced the Tarot of Besançon, as Laudier in Strasbourg (1746), Sebastian Joia in Augsburg (1725-30), Johann Christoph Hes in Augsburg (around 1750), Andreas Benedictus Göbl in München (around 1770), Josef Rauch Miller in Salzburg (around 1780), Jean-Baptiste Benoist in Strasbourg (around 1810)... and finally arrives the city of Besançon thanks to Jean Jerger (early 19th siècle)." ("Tarot in german countries from 16th to 18th century'', GIORDANO BERTI)
