Nostradamus
Introduction of a Wikipedia article. Complete article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostradamus
Michel de Nostredame,
usua
Latinised to Nostradamus, was a French apothecary and reputed seer who
publis
collections of
pr
that have
si
be
famous worldwide. He is best
kn
for his
bo
Les
Proph
( "The
Proph
"), the first
edit
of which
appe
in 1555. Since the
pub
of
th
book,
wh
has
rare
been out of print since his death, Nostradamus has attracted a
fo
that, along with the popular press, credits him
wi
predic
ma
ma
wor
events. The prophecies have in some
cas
been assimilated to the results of applying the alleged
Bi
code, as well as to
oth
purported prophetic works.
Mo
academic
sourc
maintain that the associations made between world
ev
and Nostradamus's quatrains are
la
the result of misinterpretations or mistranslations (sometimes deliberate) or else are so tenuous as to render
th
useless as evidence of any genuine predictive power. Moreover, none of the sources listed
of
any evidence
th
anyone has ever interpreted any of Nostradamus's
quatra
specifically
enou
to allow a clear
id
of any event in advance.
