Book Description
Has Nostradamus predicted the coming Apocalypse along with a thousand other great events? His believers claim that in the 1500s he predicted historic milestones that have or will alter the course of human history, such as the rise of Napoleon and Hitler. Published here are the hard to find original English translations from 1672 to help you answer that question. Finally, you can look through the actual work of Nostradamus to see if you can solve his riddles. He scribed over a thousand quatrains that cover events from the 1500s to the year 3797. Since these were translated by Theodore Garencieres, before the rise of the first two antichrists, they are untainted with the bias of current events. See if you can unravel the hidden meaning of his quatrains and discover his vision of the future. Plagued by the Inquisition, Nostradamus was notorious for obfuscating his meaning with anagrams, symbolism, and mythological allusions. Study of his work can be a fascinating hobby or intellectual exercise that can be quite enjoyable. What great event will be discovered next in this cryptic text?
About the Author
Nostradamus (1503-1566) was a medieval physician who became an astrologer and prophet. His renown has grown immensely in recent years as we have witnessed the passing of his predictions. He wrote his prognostications in poetic form in collections of centuries that have inspired man for over 400 years.

Worth a thought,
By king'ori "k3kanyi" (minnesota, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nostradamus His Works and Prophecies (Paperback)
Even if Nostradamus was right 10% of the time, and he was right more often than that, it'd be worth a minute in thought. Reading about him is not a waste of time, I'd recommend any bright mind to read this book, but also to exercise reason while doing so.I'd be easier to read a more simplified version if you just wanna get a basic story of Nostradamus, but if you are a serious scholar - this is a good refference book

The Great,
By Brian (DETROIT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nostradamus His Works and Prophecies (Paperback)
I have read many books by Nostradamus. I have read better, but this is definitley not bad. I would like to write a message to the person from England, who says that any of Nostradamus' prophecies can be twisted and turned into many ways.......WRONG. "A mushroom shaped explosion" is in one of his quatrains, is that vogue? its the exact shape of a nuclear weapons Smoke! Nostradamus even told how many years Hitler would rule! Nostradamus saw a young boy in the streets, got off his carraige and got on his knee's and praised the boy. Saying "Your holiness!" Years later, that boy became Pope! Nostradamus also cured 3 cities that were infected with the Bubonic Plague, and to give him no credit and say he is nothing? His wife and 2 kids were killed! yet he STILL helped the communities. He has predicted many deaths, even his own, he told when and where he was coming back from. Everyone said he was of the devil, many people hated him in his time, yet he was still nice. I think he did Sorcery, but not Satanic Sorcery. he cured people with herbs and that is used in sorcery, but he was very religeous.(christain) he saved SO many lives, he is very important.
