Nostradamus was born on either 14 or 21 December 1503 in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Provence, France, [10] where his claimed birthplace still exists, and baptized Michel. [10] He was one of at least nine children of notary Jaume (or Jacques) de Nostredame and Reynière, granddaughter of Pierre de Saint-Rémy who worked as a physician in Saint-Rémy. [10] Jaume's family had originally been Jewish, but his father, Cresquas, a grain and money dealer based in Avignon, had converted to Catholicism around 1459–60, taking the Christian name "Pierre" and the surname "Nostredame" (Our Lady), the saint on whose day his conversion was solemnised. [10] The earliest ancestor who can be identified on the paternal side is Astruge of Carcassonne, who died about 1420. Michel's known siblings included Delphine, Jean (c. 1507–1577), Pierre, Hector, Louis, Bertrand, Jean II (born 1522) and Antoine (born 1523). [11] [12] [13] Michel de Nostredame was born on either 14 or 21 December 1503, and he passed away on 2 July 1566. He is almost certainly the world’s most illustrious seer of the future, sometimes called a soothsayer, or prophet, who from a young age so they say, had visions of future events.

More than a decade has passed, but people should still be wary. The French mystic had an uncanny ability for prognostication and though he wasn't a hundred percent accurate it was still scary close. That was reason enough for people in the centuries after his death to study his more obscure and still active quatrains. Refer to the analysis of these charts by Brind'Amour, 1993, and compare Gruber's comprehensive critique of Nostradamus's horoscope for Crown Prince Rudolph Maximilian. After another visit to Italy, Nostradamus began to move away from medicine and toward the "occult". Following popular trends, he wrote an almanac for 1550, for the first time in print. Latinising his name to Nostradamus. He was so encouraged by the almanac's success that he decided to write one or more annually. Taken together, they are known to have contained at least 6,338 prophecies, [24] [25] as well as at least eleven annual calendars, all of them starting on 1 January and not, as is sometimes supposed, in March. It was mainly in response to the almanacs that the nobility and other prominent people from far away soon started asking for horoscopes and "psychic" advice from him, though he generally expected his clients to supply the birth charts on which these would be based, rather than calculating them himself as a professional astrologer would have done. When obliged to attempt this himself on the basis of the published tables of the day, he frequently made errors and failed to adjust the figures for his clients' place or time of birth. [26] [27] [c] [28] One has got to actually understand that this is during the time of the printing revolution. And he was one of its first bestselling authors. And then he embarked on a history of the future, which would look at everything up to the year 3797 AD, nearly 1,800 years from now, and beyond.

Gruber, Elmar R. (2003). Nostradamus: Sein Leben, sein Werk und die wahre Bedeutung seiner Prophezeiungen (in German). Scherz Verlag GmbH. ISBN 978-3-502-15280-4.Nostradamus doesn’t mention France explicitly, but Pau, Nay, Loron are three towns in the southern part of the country. Rearrange these words and you get Napaulon Roy. In French, Roy (spelled Roi) means king, so you’ve Napoleon the King. He certainly swam in praise and perhaps by confluence it could mean how he battled all through Europe. Some people think the mention of Pius relates to Popes Pius VI and Pius VII, who were both imprisoned by Napoleon as is said in the last line. Of course it is always pain in the ass to analyze his prophecies, but the book's like 16th-century French literature, and it is kind of fun to read if you like puzzling, classic literature like classic Chinese poems. Roussat, R., Livre de l'etat et mutations des temps, Lyon, 1550, p. 95; Brinette, B, Richard Roussat: Livre de l'etat et mutations des temps, introduction et traductions, 1550 (undated dossier) Further material was gleaned from the De honesta disciplina of 1504 by Petrus Crinitus, [46] which included extracts from Michael Psellos's De daemonibus, and the De Mysteriis Aegyptiorum ( Concerning the mysteries of Egypt), a book on Chaldean and Assyrian magic by Iamblichus, a 4th-century Neo-Platonist. Latin versions of both had recently been published in Lyon, and extracts from both are paraphrased (in the second case almost literally) in his first two verses, the first of which is appended to this article. While it is true that Nostradamus claimed in 1555 to have burned all of the occult works in his library, no one can say exactly what books were destroyed in this fire. I enjoyed the introduction that Nostradamus wrote for his son and King Henry as they gave me an insight to Nostradamus as a person and to a small extent the way in which he came up with prophecies and how he himself did not consider himself a prophet. What was surprising to me was the prophecies themselves as they are written in verses like a poem which I didn't expect. While the prophecies themselves are not poorly written I felt that I was reading a riddle through the entire book or like reading a book without ever determining the context of it just because I wasn't able to visualize or pin point any historical events myself. Nostradamus' period of reference (the 15th century) didn't work to his advantage when writing about centuries to come as much of his references had to do with monarchy which, no longer exists and hasn't existed for some time.
