Answer. The names of [Louis] Pasteur, [Gen. Francisco] Franco, and others are clearly given by Nostradamus. The exact date of the London Fire (1666) is also plainly given. Many interpreters think that Hitler's name is also given, slightly modified, as "Hister." There are still many unsolved names and dates. In other quatrains, several dates are given in terms of fairly specific and unique astronomical data (e.g., planet positions in the zodiac). Answer.

Answer. Apart from his professional works (in which no one is really interested) he produced a number of prophetic works. We discern between the Centuries and the Prognostications. The Prognostications are like an Almanac. They contain a series of Predictions about the next year. Because these predictions were fulfilled (or not) more than 440 years ago few are interested in them. The really interesting stuff is the Centuries.

Answer. Very little or nothing. He does refer to the King of the Mongols, and to a King from beyond the Black Sea. Most of the discussion about China relates to a verse from the Bible that mentions an army of 200 Million. If the prediction is very specific, it is probably bogus. Nostradamus almost always concealed his meaning in anagrams, symbolism, and mythological allusions. (There are exceptions, however, see below.) These articles almost never give a citation to the original verse.

Answer. Nostradamus wrote primarily in "early Modern French," with an admixture of archaic words mostly derived from Latin and Greek. Early Modern French is approximately contemporaneous with Shakespearian English. He also incorporates words from the "Languedoc" or Provencal dialect of southern France. Readers who are familiar with Latin and modern French can often understand the original language, even if they have not studied early French or Provencal.

Answer. Nostradamus was educated as a physician and was noted for his work during the plagues of the 16th century. In later years, he worked as an astrologer to clients who included the Queen of France.

Answer. The books of Erika Cheetham have good biographical material. These are readily available in university libraries and even in many bookstores. See also the other Nostradamus pages on the WWW and the USENET Nostradamus FAQ. (See below.)

Also don't forget to check out Albert Nanomius' eight part FAQ regularly posted on apn. Excellent stuff as a sidebar to the quatrains, and goes to some lengths in theorizing about the "subject" of N's writings.

Answer. It is commonly believed that the first two Anti-Christs were Napoleon and Hitler. The identity of the third Anti-Christ is not yet known. Some people believe that Saddam Hussien will be the 3AC. Many believe that the 3AC will come from the Mid-East. Others have argued that the 3AC will come from East Asia (China, Mongolia or Korea.) This is a common topic of discussion in the Nostradamus newsgroup.

a physician, Nostradamus became famous because of fighting the plague. He traveled through the infected areas and applied, with success, medicines that were uncommon in his time. He translated a book by Claudius Galenus, the founder of West European healing. an astrologer, Nostradamus became famous for the yearly publishing of almanacs (beginning in 1550). These almanacs contained political predictions for each month, later known as the Pr?sages.

The investigation on which Nostradamus, astrology and the Bible is based, showed by means of the quatrains and the letters to Cesar and Henry II, that Nostradamus had the strong conviction that God gave to him the gift of prophecy. During 29 years, from October 16, 1524 to October 11, 1553, he got "imaginations" (visions). These "imaginations" contained hints to wars, disasters and the like.

The Edgar Cayce readings do not contain a listing of inevitable future events. However, a number of readings including readings given during World War II on the status of “World Affairs,” provide some hopeful insights into humanity’s collective destiny and how we might work together to bring about that destiny.

To address this question adequately we need to break it down. If the question asked is to determine if it is possible to "predict" whether a particular storm is likely to generate lightning activity the answer is yes. Electric Field Mills (sensors) have been used for over 25 years to evaluate the potential for lightning by monitoring the electrostatic fields present in the atmosphere.

Nostradamus was a French physician. He was born in 1503 in Saint-R?my de Provence, France. He died in 1566 in Salon-de-Provence, France. He was a catholic. His parents and grandparents were Jewish from origin, but had themselves baptized catholic.

Camry is based on the word "kan muri," or "crown." Toyota produced a car called the Crown, as well as the Corona, which is related to the word "crown." (From Camryman's Camry Reference page which no longer appears to be around.) Cressida - Cressida was a Shakespeare character (the daughter of Calchas in Troilus and Cressida) and the name of the fourth satellite out from Uranus, named after that character.

The name of Neptune can be found in a number of quatrains as well as in a number of the Pr?sages. However, there is nothing that shows that Nostradamus knew about the existence of other planets than the seven "classic" planets of his lifetime: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. If he gave lists of planets, he always listed one or more of these planets and never one or more of the transsaturnial planets.
