I got this information from "The Secrets of High Magic" by Francis Melville.
Packs of cards for gambling and fortune-telling were first invented around 1370. The standard Tarot deck as we know today, with twenty-two trump cards, and fifty-six suit cards dates back to around 1500 and appeared in northern Italy.
It was not until the late eighteenth century that there were evidence that they were included in the Hermetic Arts. In 1773 a Frenchman speculated that they were of ancient Egyptian origin. Whatever their origin, the Tarot appeared custom made for Kabbalistic magic.
