Publisher's Synopsis
Nostradamus (1503-1566) was well versed in the arts of astronomy, the kabbalah, astrology, alchemy, magic, mathematics and medicine. Some critics of Christianity hold up Nostradamus as an example of someone who made predictions on the level with those in the Bible, thus canceling the claim of supernatural uniqueness made for biblical prophecy. Coeur de l'amant ouuert d'amour fortiue Dans le ruisseau fera rauir la Dame: Le demy mal contrefera lassiue, Le pere a deux priuera corps de l'ame. The heart of the lover, awakened by furtive love will ravish the lady in the stream. She will pretend bashfully to be half injured, the father of each will deprive the body of its soul.
