Ebook: Prophecies of Nostradamus

Nostradamus, or Michel de Nostredame, was a physician and astrologer during the time of the Black Death. His most famous book “Les Prophéties,” or “the Prophecies,” was first published in 1555. Some scholars believe that, in this volume, he predicted a number of world events, such as the rise of Napoleon and the death of Hitler, and that it also predicts the coming of the Antichrist and the end of the world.

This volume contains annotations and parallel texts. A modern English translation accompanies the original, Mediaeval French—the language in which Nostradamus originally wrote his prophecies—, helping the reader to understand both the original language and the translation of this critical work of eschatology.

This edition also contains fragments of the questionable 11th and 12th centuries.
