1555: Riddle of Nostradamus’s future imperfect
A ‘Book of Centuries’ consisting of cryptic four-lined rhymed verses gets published in France by Michael Nostradamus – a provincial doctor.
The book’s 900 ‘Centuries’ contained a series of prophecies about future events. Predictions included a massive fire in London in 1666, global war erupting twice in the far-distant 20th century, the coming of an anti-Christ from the deserts of Persia later in the same century and, most absurdly of all, a revolution that would overthrow the mighty French monarchy before the 18th century was over.
Snatches of the Hebrew, Latin and Portuguese, and the use of anagrams, made the book very difficult to understand fully – yet it was impossible to dismiss.
