Prophet of Predictions: 5 Facts You Do Not Know About Nostradamus
Nostradamus

The prophet of prophecy was born Michel de Nostradame in December 1503 in Saint Remy, France, and died July 1, 1566.

Nostradamus was a French astrologer, chemist, pharmacist, who published a collection of predictions entitled Les Propheties; the book became famous worldwide, as did the author.

In 1555, Nostradamus wrote his famous book of prophecies called "Centuries" in which he described his prophecies in the form of rhyming quotations. In these prophecies, he used many anagrams, allegories, puns, phrases with secret meanings, and scientific jargon to conceal the meanings of the prophecies. Why he did this is not yet clear, but many believe that the reason was to protect himself from the ecclesiastical authorities of those years.

His predictions have led many devout followers to claim the accuracy of these predictions - from the death of King Henry II of France to the September 11, 2001 attacks on the Twin Towers in the United States.

Historians say that Nostradamus was well acquainted with classical Greco-Roman literature, which in his time was almost unknown or undiscovered in Europe; from this literature (document, speeches, literature, prose, poetry) Nostradamus detached phrases or sayings with philosophical meanings (broad, multiple), becoming like one who predicts, foretells, warns, prophesies, pro-fet: pro ' before '+ fenai' saying '). Moreover, at the head of the book "Prophecies", Nostradamus indirectly says that for what he writes is not his merit: "Although, I used the word prophecy, I would not attribute to myself such a magnificent and noble title as it is that of the Prophet ”.

5 facts you do not know about Nostradamus:

Nostradamus was expelled from medical school

Nostradamus enrolled at the University of Avignon in 1519 at the age of 15, but was forced to leave a year later when the city was struck by the plague and the university closed its doors. He then spent eight years traveling to France, Italy and Spain researching working both in pharmacy and helping plague victims. In 1529, Nostradamus enrolled at the University of Montpellier (one of the oldest medical institutions still in operation today), but was expelled shortly after the university learned he had worked in perfumery — a trade believed to be inferior to that of a doctor and that was prohibited by university regulations. There continues to be a debate as to whether he would later return to complete his medical studies, although there is no evidence to prove that he did so.

In addition to the prophecies, Nostradamus published a cookbook

One of Nostradamus's earliest publications is entitled The Treatise on Cosmetics. To give instructions on how to do blonde hair and other products related to the physical appearance of man. But his book also offered tips on the best foods, especially when it came to different mixes.

His predictions are based on events from the past

Although the perception of Nostradamus as a prophet with a strange ability to accurately predict the future has continued since the 16th century, scholars now believe that in fact he did not possess a supernatural power to see the world other but the ability to project the past into the future. According to Peter Lemesurier, a former Cambridge linguist, Nostradamus was neither an astrologer nor a fortune teller; he simply believed that history would repeat itself. Using a technique dating back to biblical times known as bibliomacy, Nostradamus randomly selected extracts from older sources and then used them for future calculations.

His contemporaries criticized his astrological abilities

Ever since the first edition of the Prophecies was published in 1555, Nostradamus has attracted the attention of the Queen of France, Catherine de Medici, who summoned Nostradamus to Paris to explain his predictions. However, not all the attention he received was positive. Professional astrologers of the time criticized his methodology as incompetent and. Laurens Videl published a pamphlet in 1558 entitled "The Statement of Abuse, Ignorance and Riots of Nostradamus" in which he cursed the content of Nostradamus' predictions and his lack of astrological basis, saying: "I can say with complete confidence that this method of astrology is not real.

Nostradamus prophecies were used as propaganda during World War II

Shortly after Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Magda Goebbels, the wife of Hitler's propaganda minister, quoted a passage in The Mysteries of the Sun and the Soul in which one of Nostradamus's verses allegedly predicted crises in England and Poland in in 1939. After this book passed to her husband's attention, Joseph Goebbels ordered the creation and distribution of a pamphlet that would convince those living in neutral lands that victory was inevitable, as Nostradamus had predicted centuries ago. The Allies responded with psychological warfare by distributing large quantities of leaflets over the occupied German territories, claiming that Nostradamus had in fact predicted the defeat of Germany.
