Hoyle
1755年,Edmond Hoyle(1672-1769)被引用为卡牌或棋盘游戏的典型权威,他是几本关于纸牌游戏的著作的作者。根据巴兹利的说法,这个姓氏代表了北英格兰方言发音的 hole。"在约克郡和兰开夏郡, hole 仍然是方言中的 hoyle。任何住在圆形凹陷或坑洞里的人都会被称为托马斯或拉尔夫·霍伊尔(Hoyle)"。["英国和威尔士姓氏词典",伦敦,1901年]
To the making of rule-books there is no end, and books on card games are no exception to the rule. Many claim to be the last word in 'Official Rules', and to this end disguise themselves under the name of HOYLE as an earnest of proof and authority. It may therefore be rather surprising to learn that Hoyle died over 200 years ago, and positively disconcerting find that most card games do not actually have official rules. What's more, the original Hoyle, an eighteenth-century Whist tutor, only described some half-dozen card games, and in not a single instance did he write any rules explaining how the game is played. [David Parlett, "A History of Card Games," 1991]
制定规则书永无止境,纸牌游戏的书籍也不例外。许多人声称自己是“官方规则”的最后一道防线,并以 HOYLE 的名义伪装自己,作为证明和权威的标志。因此,令人惊讶的是,霍伊尔已经去世200多年了,更令人困惑的是,大多数纸牌游戏实际上并没有官方规则。此外,原始的霍伊尔是一位18世纪的桥牌导师,只描述了一些卡牌游戏,并且在任何情况下都没有写过任何解释如何玩游戏的规则。[大卫·帕莱特(David Parlett),《纸牌游戏的历史》,1991年]
