It is believed that it contains anagrams, mythological and astrological references, in a subjective language that makes comprehension difficult. As one of the most important prophets, his writings have been famous, intriguing and controversial.
For over 400 years the prophecies have fascinated people because they project far into the future (A.D. 3797) and because they are open to countless interpretations. Nostradamus has been credited with anticipating the Great Fire of London, the rise of Napoleon and Adolf Hitler, and the September 11 terrorist attacks. Read the prophecies and judge for yourself.
The complete prophecies of Nostradamus are now available in a bilingual edition, with English and French side by side.
