Les Prophéties

The first English edition titled The True Prophecies or Prognostications of Michael Nostradamus, Physician to Henry II.

[3] The predictions do not follow chronological coherence and were written combining French, Greek, Latin and Occitan.

It is believed that it contains anagrams, mythological and astrological references, in a subjective language that makes comprehension difficult.

Some scholars claim that this was a resource used by Nostradamus to evade the Holy Inquisition, for fear of being persecuted for heresy.

[4] Most of the quatrains deal with disasters, and Nostradamus gained notoriety for the belief in his ability to predict the future.
