Michelle Nostradamus
(Michel Nostradamus)
Portrait of the physician and astrologer Michel Nostradamus, painted by his son Caesar in 1614. Library Mayence, Aix-en-Provence.
Nostradamus was born on December 14, 1503 in the south of France in Provence in the city of Saint-Remy-de-Provence into the Jewish family of notary Jacques Nostradamus and Rene de Saint-Remy. His ancestors maternal line were distinguished by their extraordinary abilities in the fields of mathematics and medicine. One of them, Jean de Saint-Rémy, was the personal physician of the Duke of Calabria. There were many doctors on the paternal side, including Peter Abraham Salomon, who accompanied Count Rene of Provence, the titular king of Jerusalem, during the crusade. The father belonged to the ancient Jewish family of Issachar, whose representatives, whose genealogy was traced back to Issachar, the fifth son of Jacob from Leah, were credited with a special prophetic gift. His grandfather, who converted to Catholicism in 1458, received the name Pierre de Notredame. Upon conversion to the Catholic faith and according to the customs of the time, the name "Notre Dame", received at baptism, was replaced by the Latinized "Nostradamus". Nostradamus' ancestors on his father's side were Jewish Sephardim who emigrated from the persecution of Ferdinand the Catholic, Isabella of Castile and the Holy Inquisition to Provence, where relative religious tolerance reigned. Our ancestors inherited from the Arabs the art of healing and a penchant for Kabbalism. As a teenager, Nostradamus studied ancient Greek and Latin, as well as the basics of mathematics, after which he was sent for further studies to Avignon. Acquaintance with the worldview of antiquity made the life-affirming Greco-Roman Pantheon no less, and perhaps even closer, to Nostradamus than the traditional religiosity of Christianity.
Lyon, 1555
In 1522, when he was 18 years old, Nostradamus left Avignon a year before finishing his studies due to an outbreak of plague. Then, at the age of 22, he entered the university in Montpellier, famous in Europe at that time, famous for its medical school. He received a license to practice medicine. In 1526, he was again caught by a plague epidemic in Aix. And nine years later, after studying at the Faculty of Medicine in Montpellier, Nostradamus received the degree of Doctor of Medicine and for some time remained an assistant professor at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Montpellier. For several years he specialized in the treatment of what was then called the “Black Death”—possibly some form of bubonic or pneumonic plague.
In 1531, Nostradamus married a girl from a respectable family in the city of Ajan on the Garonne, who bore him two children - a boy and a girl. In 1534, Nostradamus's wife and both children die from a plague epidemic that devastates the city. In 1536, Nostradamus continued his medical practice in Ajan, where he met the famous humanist of that time, Julius Caesar Scaliger. In 1547, Nostradamus was invited to the Salon de Cros (Salon of Provence). On November 11, 1547, he married a second time to the noble Venetian Anna Ponsard-Gemelle, a young widow of Salon-de-Provence. The couple occupies a house that has survived to this day and is a museum of Nostradamus. They would have six children, three girls and three boys. The eldest, Caesar, would become consul of the Salon, historian, biographer of his father, artist and poet.
As is clear from the message of Nostradamus to his son Caesar, preceding the first seven centuries, the first inspiration dawned on him when he burned the occult scriptures. With his gift of foresight, Nostradamus appealed to God, while astronomical calculations and astrological calculations served him as confirmation of this gift.
Knight's tournament from the Middle Ages
miniature from the 14th century.
The first edition of Centuries attracted everyone's attention. Some readers claimed that their author was crazy. Some considered him a charlatan - one who writes in poetic form supposedly predictions, but in reality it is unintelligible and meaningless nonsense. However, in the summer of 1559, skeptics changed their minds, coming to the conclusion that the man they considered a fraud or madman had the true gift of prophecy. This turn in Nostradamus’s assessments occurred after the sudden death of the French king Henry II, who was mortally wounded in a knightly tournament. This happened when the 40-year-old king, who sometimes as his personal coat of arms used the image of a lion (which, however, did not correspond to heraldic canons), took part in a three-day competition organized in honor of the simultaneous engagements of his sister Elizabeth and daughter Margarita. The first was betrothed to King Philip II of Spain, the second to the Duke of Savoy.
On the third day of the tournament, the king of France fought with the 33-year-old commander of his Scots guards, Coris, known by the name Montgomery. Although this military leader bore a Norman surname and was supposedly born in France, his ancestors were believed to be natives of Scotland, whose heraldic symbol was (and still is) a lion standing on hind legs. Montgomery's spear splintered. One fragment of the tip easily wounded the king in the throat, the second, more massive, pierced the gilded visor of his helmet and entered the eye. The eye of the unfortunate monarch festered. In addition, the tip of the spear also touched the brain. After ten days of terrible torment, death delivered him from suffering. Everyone, of course, understood that this very event was predicted by Nostradamus in quatrain 35 of Centuria I, published about four years ago, although at the time of its publication this quatrain seemed nonsense. Here's what it said:
"The Young Lion will defeat the Old
On the battlefield in single combat.
He will pierce his eyes through the golden cage,
The Old Lion will die from two wounds terrible death.»
This quatrain was considered surprisingly appropriate to the circumstances of the death of the French king. “Young Lion” is, of course, Montgomery, captain of the Scots Guards, and “old Lion, slain in a duel,” that is, at a knightly tournament, is, naturally, Henry II, whose eye, protected by a “golden cage” - a gilded visor, was pierced. And the king really died a “terrible death”, which was brought to him by “one of the fragments” of his opponent’s spear. This prediction, published by Nostradamus in the first partial edition of the centuries, became the reason for his fame. Nostradamus warned the king against participating in knightly fights, pointing out the mortal danger. However, the king ignored Nostradamus' warning. The prophecy came true: King Henry II died of wounds received at the tournament on July 10, 1559.
In 1564, Nostradamus was visited by the Dowager Queen Catherine de' Medici and her son Charles IX, and on October 18 of the same year, Nostradamus was received by them at the Château de l'Emperie. The painting by Denis Valveran, kept in the museum of this castle, depicts Catherine de' Medici sitting in a chair , her son Charles IX, standing behind her, and Nostradamus, one of whose hands rests on an open book, and the other on the head of a naked boy - Prince Henry of Navarre, the future king Henry IV. Nostradamus predicted that he would become king of France. His prediction. turned 26 years later, in 1590, when the Valois family died out male line(after the death of Henry II, the French throne was successively occupied by his three sons: Francis II, Charles IX and Henry III), and in 1564 Charles IX appointed Nostradamus as his personal physician, granting him 200 gold doubloons. Catherine's generosity doubled this amount.
On July 1, 1566, Nostradamus told Chavigny: “At dawn you will no longer find me alive!” On the morning of July 2, 1566, he got out of bed to avoid an asthma attack and fell dead on the bench. Eyewitnesses to the incident found that his death was calm. He knew the day of his death, because in June 1566, in a copy of the Ephemerides of Stadius (Tables containing calculations of the positions of the planets and other celestial bodies for certain periods of time.) against July 2 wrote: “Death is approaching here.” The body of Nostradamus was placed in a sarcophagus and buried in the wall of the Franciscan Minor Church in Salona.
In 1791, at the height of revolutionary events, a certain Jacobin set fire to the Franciscan church and scattered the remains of the famous predictor. The next day, the revolutionary was found killed near Lanson. This prophecy of Nostradamus, who predicted woe to anyone who opened his grave, was also fulfilled. The urn containing the remains of Nostradamus' ashes was reinstalled in the Church of St. Lawrence.
The eldest son of Nostradamus lived up to the hopes placed on him by his father. Caesar became the author of the history of Provence. Louis XIII granted Caesar Nostradamus the title of nobility (chevalier) and promoted him to chamberlain of the court. Nostradamus's second son, Michel, was accused of deliberate arson and executed in 1574. The third son, Andre, joined the Capuchin Order. Eldest daughter, Madeleine, married the gentleman Paul de Schocken, Anna and Diana remained unmarried. Even during his lifetime, Nostradamus's work enjoyed success. Almanacs and calendars with predictions for Agriculture, containing the secret prophecies of Nostradamus. The lifetime monthly oracle for the years 1555-1556 has been preserved, as well as the posthumous oracle until November 1567 in the form of the 141st prediction. Together with the eleventh century, consisting of 58 six-line lines and two quatrains, and the twelfth, consisting of 11 quatrains, these works constitute the posthumous legacy of Nostradamus.
In 1605 they were presented as a gift to King Henry IV on behalf of the publisher Vincent Seve of Beausaire, a descendant of Nostradamus.
The Centuries of Nostradamus - the prophetic work of his entire life, which entered the history of world literature, over time acquired true immortality. Each of the 9 official centuries contains 100 quatrains (the seventh - 42 quatrains). In addition, the centuries are equipped with two prefaces: the first, to the 7th century, is dedicated to the son Caesar, and the second, dated June 27, 1558 and serving as an introduction to the 8-10 centuries, is dedicated to Henry the Happy.
The problem of establishing a chronological correspondence to the events predicted by Nostradamus, an expert in notarial cursive writing (the so-called Tyrone notes), as tempting as it was insoluble in its entirety, was fertile ground for advancing various kinds hypotheses and options for reconstructing the chronological chain. The triumphant march of centuries along the historical path of human development, which began after their first publication in 1555, continues to the present day.
The most famous of the soothsayers throughout the world over the past 500 years is a French physician and astronomer named Michel Nostradamus. He went down in history as the winner of the plague and the lord of time, who inexplicably looked ahead 2000 years. To this day, his predictions enjoy great attention and are studied with interest by many astrologers.
The birth of the future soothsayer
In December 1503, on the 14th, in the French province of Provence there was a boy is born in the family of Jacques Nostradamus, a notary in Saint-Rémy and René. He was named Michel de Notredame. On his father’s side, he was Jewish, and his entire family for the time being adhered to Judaism. However, the time was turbulent: Europe lived under the close supervision of the Catholic Church and according to its laws. Therefore, all followers of other faiths could be outlawed and executed as heretics. Where Michel Nostradamus was born, Jewish families were threatened with expulsion. Therefore, the entire family of the future seer accepted the faith preached by the Pope and was baptized. That is why little Michel was given a Latin surname - Nostradamus.
There were ancestors on Nostradamus’s paternal side who were engaged in healing and predictions. On the mother’s side, relatives were representatives of the sciences, especially mathematics and medicine.
Childhood and primary education of Nostradamus
He spent his entire childhood in his native Saint-Rémy, growing up and playing on the streets of Provence just like other children his age. As for education, it should be noted that it is medieval Europe Not every family could do it, and therefore Michel Nostradamus received his primary and secondary education at home. He was raised and taught the basics of science by his maternal grandfather, Jean de Saint-Rémy. It was he who instilled in the young man an interest in studying the stars. Michel became so interested in astrology that he childhood his friends and relatives called him “the little stargazer.” Jean was able to give his grandson a very good and complete education by the standards of the time, but when Michel Nostradamus reached the age of 15, his grandfather died. After this, a new period begins in his life.
The Master of Avignon travels through France
In 1518, immediately after the death of his grandfather, he went to one of the largest cities in France - Avignon. There he enters the university and begins to study the sciences of the humanities, such as logic, philosophy, grammar and rhetoric. He spends the next 3 years within the walls of the educational institution, after which another Master of Arts appears in France - Michel Nostradamus. The biography of the next 8 years is very vague. Some sources say that for 8 years after his studies, he traveled around the country studying medicinal plants. According to other sources, in 1521 he decided to devote himself entirely to medicine and entered one of the most prestigious educational institutions in Europe - the University of Montpellier, whose medical school was famous throughout the Old World. He devotes another three years to studying, as a result of which he receives a bachelor's degree and only after that he goes to travel around home country up to 1529. However, most likely, we will never know the truth, since the period of his life from 1921 to 1929 is shrouded in darkness.
First meeting with the lady named Plague
During his travels in 1526, he ended up in Aix. There he first came face to face with the disease. From that time on, studying it took up all my time. After the first successful attempts in the fight against a dangerous epidemic, Michel begins to treat infected people throughout France, and takes on those patients whom other doctors have already abandoned as hopelessly ill, leaving them to wait for their death. It was at this time that Michel Nostradamus invented the famous remedy against the plague. It consisted of a set of aromatic herbs that had to be placed under the tongue of those who were in the infection zone. At this terrible time for the whole of Europe, the glory of the winner of the plague is spreading throughout the cities and villages of France.
Learning on the brink of exclusion, or How a student surpassed his teacher
Michel Nostradamus traveled until 1529, when he decided to continue his studies at the University of Montpellier. On October 23, he succeeded. He was reinstated in the Faculty of Medicine with the aim of obtaining a doctorate and a license to practice medicine. After paying tuition and swearing to abide by the university's statutes and rules, he chose a mentor. It turned out to be Antoine Romier. However, with further training, he finds himself on the verge of expulsion. There were many reasons for this, but the most important is that his understanding of the nature of diseases and medical activities went against the existing canons of healing. Most of all, doctors were infuriated by the refusal of bloodletting and the recognition of it as dangerous to human life.
Doctor Nostradamus
At a time when his fate as a student hung in the balance, he did not give up his convictions and made the fight against the plague his calling. He suggested that if contaminated places are disinfected, the incidence of disease can be reduced. Also, one book by Nostradamus revealed the secret of preparing a remedy to resist plague infection. One of his most famous inventions in those years were pills made from rose petals, rich in vitamin C. Nostradamus distributed this remedy in large quantities on the streets and squares of infected cities. As a result of undoubted success in confronting the plague, it was possible to resolve the contradictions at the university, and already in 1534, at the age of 31, Michel received a doctorate. Since this event, his last name has been written as Nostradamus.
Little happiness and crushing defeat in Agen
The result of recognition of Nostradamus' merits was an invitation to the city of Agen by one of the most significant scientists in Europe, called the "French Erasmus", to continue his studies. He was Jules-Cesar Scaliger. This happened in 1536. At this time, Nostradamus married his chosen one, who bore him two children. Everything was going great. But soon white stripe changed to black. A plague epidemic began in Agen. Michel entered into battle with her, but suffered a crushing defeat. In this battle he lost his family. After this, disagreements with Scaliger began; old competitors and simply envious people called him a charlatan. But the worst thing is that Nostradamus gets noticed by the Inquisition and faces death.
At night he flees Agen and leaves French territory. A seven-year period of wandering around Italy and Spain begins. The riddles of Nostradamus in these troubled times come from his pen. It is believed that it is after the loss of his family that the gift of foresight manifests itself in him.
How Nostradamus managed to turn his pursuer into his ally...
The year 1546 was a turning point in his life. The province of Provence experienced enormous difficulties; the plague epidemic there reached catastrophic proportions and threatened complete destruction the entire population. That same year there was a major flood, which resulted in a large number of corpses of people and animals appeared on the surface of the earth. Infections spread at an alarming rate, with new infected people appearing every day. Nostradamus was invited to organize the fight against the plague. Using preventive measures and his own medications, he managed to stop the epidemic.
At the same time, he showed himself as a skilled psychologist, managing to raise the spirit of the population, using the church and biblical commandments for this. At the peak of the epidemic in the cities, services in churches did not stop, bells were ringing. And so people saw him as their savior. The Church and the Inquisition, having learned that Michel Nostradamus had made her his ally to fight the plague, abandoned the persecution of the doctor.
The second happiness and first successes of the soothsayer
In 1547, Nostradamus moved to the small town of Salon-de-Provence. Here he marries a rich widow named Anne Ponsard Gemella, who bore him 6 children: 3 sons and 3 daughters. He would live in this calm and cozy place until his death in 1566. All the riddles of Nostradamus, including predictions, date back to this time.
He began his writing career in 1549 and wrote until his death. Since 1550, the first versions of his works began to be published. Nostradamus used the last word technology - Initial works were far from predictions - they contained information about cosmetics and cooking. However, after some time, he began to use his deep knowledge of astrology and began to compile calendars for planting agricultural plants and predicting the time of sunrise and sunset. The works of Nostradamus were full of mystery and mysticism, so they instantly gained great popularity, and his personality itself was surrounded by new incredible rumors.
The first predictions of Michel Nostradamus
Since 1554, Nostradamus begins systematic work on writing fundamental work, containing prophecies for many years to come. Nostradamus's book was called "Centuries", or "Centuries". It was first published in 1555. She instantly became a stunning success among the reading community. The collection consisted of two parts - the so-called "Messages": the first - to his son Cesar, the second - to King Henry II. The predictions consisted of quatrains, numbering about 1000 pieces, and described future events, starting in 1559 and ending with the year 3797.
Immediately after leaving, he was summoned to the capital to the king's court. He was invited by the ruler's wife, Catherine de' Medici. The reason for this was the prediction of the death of Henry II during a knight's duel. As it turned out later, this forecast came true, after which Catherine left him at court, next to her. In 1565, the forecast regarding the military clash between Christians and Muslims in Malta came true, during which Europe won a brilliant victory.
During his lifetime, another prophecy of Michel Nostradamus came true: he predicted the defeat of France by the Spanish army in 1557. The last prediction that came true during his lifetime was the words that at dawn next day he will be gone. And so it happened, in July 1566 Nostradamus died.
for 2016
A large number of Michel's prophecies have already come true and are currently coming true. Scientists who set out to study the predictions of Nostradamus provide evidence of 90% of the predictions that have already come true. The rest, they claim, are either not deciphered or have no place in history. Some must happen in certain time, including in 2016. So, what should happen this year, according to Nostradamus?
For 2016 it was predicted natural disasters: First, fires will begin that will engulf the whole world, then as a result of the greenhouse effect, people will not see either the sun or the moon. After this they will begin showers, and to top it all off Big city a comet will fall, which will trigger an unprecedented tsunami. As a result, all continents will suffer, especially Australia and Oceania. However, not everything is so sad. It is at this time that a person and a new religion will appear in Russia, which will begin the spiritual unification of all humanity, and by 2040 all artificial borders separating peoples will disappear.
There will be significant changes in economics and engineering: first, a new source of renewable, easily accessible and cheap energy will be discovered. In addition, scientists will implement Nikola Tesla's invention - without wires. This will produce a revolution and lead to the so-called. energy revolution.
In geopolitics, Nostradamus's predictions for 2016 also contain a lot interesting moments. He says that the world will hang by a thread. The epicenter of events will move to the Middle East. It will all start with a “fight” between Iran and Turkey, but after a while they will unite and “look with anger” at Europe. The peacekeeping mission will be entrusted to Russia and African countries. If you look at modern political international situation, then it is already clear that some things have happened in the world. It was also predicted that one of the countries would expel its own ruler, which in itself would surprise the whole world.
Michel Nostradamus still enjoys enormous authority in astrological circles. Predictions had a huge influence on the fate of some crowned persons at all times, starting from the second half of the 16th century. He predicted major cataclysms and historical events that changed the world and turned back time. There is probably no person who has never heard of Nostradamus. All the people here were divided into two large camps: the first are confident that Michel could really foresee events thousands of years in advance; the latter believe that he is an ordinary charlatan who wrote complete confusion in which it is impossible to recognize specific events and names. Nevertheless, we should recognize the fact of the enormous influence of Nostradamus’s ideas on the development of medical science, astrology and divination.
More and more often, humanity is asking the question whether it is possible to avoid its fate if everything is planned down to the smallest detail and cannot be changed, and whether in this case we should not agree with peoples who believe in fatalism, determinism and predestination? Well, from this point of view, the prophecies of Nostradamus are designed to shake our worldview and instill hope in our hearts for survival. However, in order to maintain this hope, reason alone is not enough for a person. In each century, the Creator awakens prophets called to serve humanity as stalkers on its earthly paths. Michel Nostradamus also belonged to this kind of stalker.
Biography of Michel Nostradamus
Michel Nostradamus was born around noon on Thursday, December 14, 1503, the Day of Nicasius, in the fifth year of the reign of the French king Louis XII in Saint-Rémy (Provence) in the family of the notary Jacques Nostradamus and René de Saint-Rémy. His maternal ancestors were distinguished by their extraordinary abilities in the fields of mathematics and medicine. One of them, Jean de Saint-Rémy, was the personal physician of the Duke of Calabria. There were many doctors on the paternal side, including Peter Abraham Salomon, who accompanied Count Rene of Provence, the titular king of Jerusalem, during the crusade. The father belonged to the ancient Jewish family of Issachar, whose representatives, whose genealogy was traced back to Issachar, the fifth son of Jacob from Leah, were credited with a special prophetic gift.
The name Nostradamus (Notre Dame) is evidence that his father's conversion to the Catholic faith took place in the Church of the Virgin Mary. According to the customs of the time, the name "Notre Dame" was replaced by the Latinized "Nostradamus". Nostradamus' ancestors on his father's side were Jewish Sephardim who emigrated from the persecution of Ferdinand the Catholic, Isabella of Castile and the Holy Inquisition to Provence, where relative religious tolerance reigned. Our ancestors inherited from the Arabs the art of healing and a penchant for Kabbalism. Acquaintance with the worldview of antiquity made the life-affirming Greco-Roman Pantheon no less, and perhaps even closer, to Nostradamus than the traditional religiosity of Christianity.
Nostradamus received his initial education at home under the guidance of his maternal grandfather Jean de Saint-Rémy. It was the grandfather who managed to instill in the child such an ardent love for understanding the secrets of the starry sky that from then on those around him began to call young Michel nothing more than “the little stargazer.” After the death of his grandfather, Nostradamus went to Avignon and devoted himself to studying a whole complex of humanities, including rhetoric and philosophy. Then, at the age of 22, he entered the university in Montpellier, famous in Europe at that time, famous for its medical school.
In 1526, he was caught in a plague epidemic in Aix. Being already a skilled pharmacist by that time, Nostradamus invented an anti-plague remedy, the recipe for which is set out in one of his books (an aromatic composition of herbs that was prescribed to be kept in the mouth of everyone who was at risk of infection). Returning to Montpellier in 1529, Nostradamus passed the examination for the title of doctor and for some time remained an assistant professor at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Montpellier. From 1536, Nostradamus practiced in Agent on the Garonne, where he met the famous humanist of the time, Julius Caesar Scaliger.
In 1548, Nostradamus was invited to the Salon de Cros (Salon of Provence). There he married a second time to the noble Venetian Anna Ponzia Gemella. As is clear from the message of Nostradamus to his son Caesar, preceding the first seven centuries, the first inspiration dawned on him when he burned the occult scriptures. With his gift of foresight, Nostradamus appealed to God, while astronomical calculations and astrological calculations served him as confirmation of this gift. After the publication of the first series of his centuries in 1555, Nostradamus was invited to the court of Henry II, King of France, and arrived in Paris on August 15, 1556. Nostradamus warned the king against participating in knightly fights, pointing out the mortal danger. However, the king ignored Nostradamus' warning. The prophecy came true: King Henry II died of wounds received at the tournament on July 10, 1559.
It is also curious that Nostradamus predicted the papal tiara for the then unknown monk Felice Peretti, who ascended the papal throne under the name of Sixtus V in 1585 after the death of the seer. The prediction was reflected in the 76th quatrain of the 5th century.
"He will raise his banner above the heavenly tent,
Not wanting to have a residence in the cities of Aix, Carpentras,
on the island of Volskerov and Mount Cavallion.
In all his possessions, his traces are destroyed."
Next after Gregory XIII Pope Sixtus V (Montalto), who actually turned out to be a very warlike pope, had many strategic plans, in particular, the conquest of Egypt. The cities named in the 3rd line and the island of Volsker (Rhone delta) are either papal possessions or border on Avignon. After the death of Sixtus V, people said: “The devil has taken Fra Felice,” and they overturned the statues erected to him during his life, thus destroying all traces of him.
In 1564, Nostradamus was visited by the Dowager Queen Catherine de' Medici and her son Charles IX, and on October 18 of the same year, Nostradamus was received by them at the Château de l'Emperie. The painting by Denis Valveran, kept in the museum of this castle, depicts Catherine de' Medici sitting in a chair , her son Charles IX, standing behind her, and Nostradamus, one of whose hands rests on an open book, and the other on the head of a naked boy - Prince Henry of Navarre, the future king Henry IV. Nostradamus predicted that he would become king of France. His prediction. turned 26 years later, in 1590, when the Valois family died out in the male line (after the death of Henry II, the French throne was successively occupied by his three sons: Francis II, Charles IX and Henry III), and in 1564 Charles IX appointed Nostradamus as his label. physician, giving him 200 gold doubloons. Catherine's generosity doubled this amount.
On July 1, 1566, Nostradamus told Chavigny: “At dawn you will no longer find me alive!” On the morning of July 2, 1566, he got out of bed to avoid an asthma attack and fell dead on the bench. Eyewitnesses to the incident found that his death was calm. He knew the day of his death, because in June 1566 in a copy of the Ephemerides of Stadius (Tables containing calculations of the positions of planets and other celestial bodies for certain periods of time.) against July 2 he wrote: “Here death approaches.” The body of Nostradamus was placed in a sarcophagus and buried in the wall of the Franciscan Minor Church in Salona.
In 1791, at the height of revolutionary events, a certain Jacobin set fire to the Franciscan church and scattered the remains of the famous predictor. The next day, the revolutionary was found killed near Lanson. This prophecy of Nostradamus, who predicted woe to anyone who opened his grave, was also fulfilled. The urn containing the remains of Nostradamus' ashes was reinstalled in the Church of St. Lawrence.
The eldest son of Nostradamus lived up to the hopes placed on him by his father. Caesar became the author of the history of Provence. Louis XIII granted Caesar Nostradamus the title of nobility (chevalier) and promoted him to chamberlain of the court. Nostradamus's second son, Michel, was accused of deliberate arson and executed in 1574. The third son, Andre, joined the Capuchin Order. The eldest daughter, Madeleine, married the gentleman Paul de Schocken; Anna and Diana remained unmarried.
Even during his lifetime, Nostradamus's work enjoyed success. Particularly popular were almanacs, calendars with predictions for agriculture, containing the secret prophecies of Nostradamus. The lifetime monthly oracle for the years 1555-1556 has been preserved, as well as the posthumous oracle until November 1567 in the form of the 141st prediction. Together with the eleventh century, consisting of 58 six-line lines and two quatrains, and the twelfth, consisting of 11 quatrains, these works constitute the posthumous legacy of Nostradamus. In 1605 they were presented as a gift to King Henry IV on behalf of the publisher Vincent Seve of Beausaire, a descendant of Nostradamus.
The Centuries of Nostradamus - the prophetic work of his entire life, which entered the history of world literature, over time acquired true immortality. Each of the 9 official centuries contains 100 quatrains (the seventh - 42 quatrains). In addition, the centuries are equipped with two prefaces: the first, to the 7th century, is dedicated to the son Caesar, and the second, dated June 27, 1558 and serving as an introduction to the 8-10 centuries, is dedicated to Henry the Happy.
The problem of establishing a chronological correspondence to the events predicted by Nostradamus, an expert in notarial cursive writing (the so-called Tyrone's notes), as tempting as it was insoluble in full, was fertile ground for putting forward various kinds of hypotheses and options for reconstructing the chronological chain. Triumphal procession of centuries on the map historical development humanity, which began after their first publication in 1555, continues to this day.
Michel Nostradamus (de Notre Dame), the greatest of earthly astrologers and clairvoyants, was born on December 14 (24), 1503 at 11:15 am in the small town of Saint-Rémy in the south of France. Both through his father Jacques (a successful notary and doctor with a large French clientele) and through his mother Reni, he is Jewish, but his parents in 1501 did not convert to Christianity of their own free will, otherwise they were threatened with expulsion from Catholic France and excommunication from the profession.
Both grandfathers of Nostradamus - Pierre Nostradamus (descendant of the ancient Italian family of Nostradonna) and Jean de Saint-Rémy - were influential doctors who occupied a high position in society, treating dukes and kings. It is interesting that the Latinized surname Notre Dame (Nostradamus) includes the encrypted name Adam and Astra (star), that is, Nostradamus - “Star Adam”.
Elementary education Michel Nostradamus received the house under the supervision of his grandfather Jean de Saint-Rémy, who was at one time the court physician of René the Good, King of Provence. His grandfather distinguished himself not only as a doctor, but also as a mathematician, philosopher and astrologer. Nostradamus's family consisted of scientists, respected by the authorities and loved by the people. His brother Jean became a famous French poet.
In 1519, as a sixteen-year-old young man, Michel Nostradamus went to study in Avignon, where they taught at the ancient university humanitarian sciences and philosophy. He delighted teachers with his understanding. His memory was so accurate and quick that he recited entire chapters by heart after the first reading. In 1522-1525, Michel de Notre-Dame studied medicine at the then famous University of Montpellier together with Francois Rabelais, predicting the success of the novel "Gargantua and Pantagruel" and the immortal glory of its creator.
Even before he became a bachelor of medicine, Nostradamus decided that his calling was to fight epidemics. And he successfully fought the plague for 4 years in Narbonne, Carcassonne, Toulouse, Bordeaux, villages and towns of Provence and Languedoc. In 1529, he was again invited to Montpellier to be awarded a doctorate after completing his studies and passing the exams. With his abilities and energy, he did not want to stay at the university, becoming a professor, and in 1532 he set out on wanderings, treating people. Nostradamus settled in Agen (a city southeast of Bordeaux) for several years, making friends with the famous humanist, doctor and poet Caesar Scaliger. There, at the age of 30, Nostradamus married a beauty, who soon bore him a son and daughter. He was appreciated as a doctor, and in spiritual communication with Scaliger, Nostradamus improved and grew.
Suddenly his life changed dramatically. Everything went to waste. In 1537-1538, unable to cope with the epidemic, the great scientist lost his wife and children. He quarreled with Scaliger, who was disappointed in him, because of different views on poetry. At the same time, Nostradamus incurred the suspicions of the Inquisition. Because of the first prophecies and the discovery of new ways to combat epidemics, he was even threatened with a fire. Therefore, he did not risk appearing when summoned by the Inquisitor of Toulouse on charges of heresy and communication with the Devil, and in 1538-1545 Nostradamus wandered around Europe, mainly in Italy, Switzerland and the south of France. For the last 2 years, Michel Nostradamus has been hiding in a monastery to escape hunger.
In 1545, Michel Nostradamus showed up in Marseille as an assistant to the physician Louis Serres, who led the fight against the pneumonic plague. This time he carried out the treatment in Marseille and Aix thoughtfully and skillfully, and won. He managed to make up flowers and medicinal herbs healing and disinfectant against pestilence, thereby anticipating sanitary and preventive actions, taking into account the religious feelings of the population and its suggestibility. For the victory over the epidemic, the municipality of Aix awarded Nostradamus a lifelong pension. He received many expensive gifts, which he immediately distributed to the disadvantaged or used to buy food for the sick.
In his master's thesis, Nostradamus indicated the possibility of using vaccinations against smallpox, which was done only 200 years later by Edward Jenner. The great scientist also suggested that a person has two circles of blood circulation, anticipating the discovery of William Harvey by 120 years. Nostradamus predicted humanity's use of electricity, radio, television, steam engines, airplanes, etc. Michel Nostradamus, 200 years before Henry Cavendish, deduced the laws of interaction of electronic charges. The great scientist of the Renaissance predicted a number of directions in the development of technology, including astronautics.
From 1547, Nostradamus lived in the small Provençal town of Salon, between Avignon and Marseille, until his death. In the same year, Michel Nostradamus married for the second time the wealthy widow Anne Ponsalet-Gemal (Poussard), who gave birth to him three sons(Caesar, Andre, Charles) and three daughters (Madeleine, Diana, Anna). In the widow's house, Nostradamus furnished himself an office where no one could enter. There he kept valuable papyri from Egyptian temples, brought by Jews expelled from Egypt. The famous doctor and astrologer knew Latin, Hebrew, ancient Greek and Italian languages, studied ancient Egyptian and oriental beliefs, knew how to make miraculous medicines, wrote poetry, philosophical and medical works. He also spent many years doing chemical and physical experiments; his contemporaries compared his versatile talent to Leonardo da Vinci. His fame as an astrologer grew, despite the machinations of envious people and mediocre competitors. They tried to kill Nostradamus for his black magic, but he himself was a staunch Catholic, avoiding even remote contact with black magic. Nostradamus rose above the embittered ignoramuses and cruel intriguers.
Nostradamus penned a number of books: “The Universal Cure for the Plague” (1561), “How to Make Various Varieties of Jam from Honey, Sugar and Wine” (1552), “A Useful Brochure on Many Excellent Recipes” (1572), etc. He is credited with composing astrological treatises - “Foretellings” and “Signs”, written in the form of 6-line verses.
Michelle Nostradamus
Before moving on to the description of the predictions of Michel Nostradamus ( rice. 7), it would not be superfluous to answer the question: what was the great prophet like in the light of historical and life truth? It turns out that the famous resident of the French province of Provence became famous not only as a soothsayer, but also as a talented scientist, philosopher, alchemist and astrologer.
Nostradamus was born on December 24, 1503 in the town of San Remy. His parents were Jews. Mother, Reni, nee de Saint Remy, was of noble birth.
Rice. 7. Michel Nostradamus
His father, Jacques Nostradame, served as a notary and had a large French clientele. Both of Michel's grandfathers were famous doctors who treated dukes and kings. Shortly before his birth, in 1502, the entire family of the future soothsayer converted from Judaism to Catholicism, however, not of their own free will, but under the threat of expulsion from Provence and forced excommunication from their professions.
Thus, Michel was a Catholic from birth. The boy was raised by his grandfather, Jean de Saint Remy. Under his leadership, Michel acquired good knowledge in medicine, folk healing, mathematics, astrology and languages. In parallel with medicine, he also became acquainted with alchemy, since in those days these two sciences were practically inseparable from each other.
Nostradamus dreamed of getting a medical degree, so in 1529 he entered the University of Montpellier. Relying on his own intuition and common sense, the young scientist opposed many of the treatment methods widespread at that time, such as bloodletting. Moreover, he believed that they were harmful to the human body, because they are taken away from the patient last strength, thereby bringing him closer to death.
After three years of study at the university, Nostradamus received a doctor's license and went to the provinces to treat those sick with bubonic plague. The epidemic of this disease claimed thousands of lives in all European countries. So the young doctor had sufficient quantity practical material for generalization. In all likelihood, it was Nostradamus who was among the first medical scientists to suggest the existence of special bacteria that cause many infectious diseases, including the plague, and proposed disinfection in contaminated areas.
The young doctor considered it his calling to fight epidemics. When treating patients, Nostradamus used his own methods. He advised his patients to spend more time in the fresh air, drink only pure spring water and take medicines based on various medicinal herbs.
From rose petals, Nostradamus created the famous pink pills containing large amounts of vitamin C. He walked the streets of infected cities and distributed them to passers-by. The scientist tried to convince people of the need to observe hygiene rules. After all, even the royal residence of the Louvre was a rather unattractive sight in those days: noble people took care of their natural needs wherever they pleased, threw garbage out of the windows and poured out slops. It was in non-compliance with hygiene rules that Nostradamus saw the main reason for the spread of diseases.
During four years of medical practice, the scientist achieved amazing results: he managed to stop the epidemic in such major cities France, like Toulouse, Bordeaux and Carcassonne. In 1529 Nostradamus returned to Montpellier. Soon he was awarded a doctorate. After working for three years as a teacher at the university, he, at the invitation of the famous philosopher and scientist Jules Scaliger, moved to the city of Ajan, where he continued his studies practical medicine. Here Nostradamus married and became the father of two children, but family happiness was short-lived.
A plague epidemic broke out in Ajan. Nostradamus entered into a fight with an old and well-studied enemy, but did not calculate his strength. He suffered a heavy defeat: the disease claimed the lives of those closest to him - his wife and children. This grief was followed by other misfortunes. Nostradamus quarreled with Scaliger, who was disappointed in his abilities. At the same time, he incurred the suspicions of the Inquisition, and his old competitors declared him a charlatan. As a result, the future prophet was forced to flee France under cover of darkness.
In 1538, a period of wandering began in the life of Nostradamus, mainly in the southwest of Europe, which is still insufficiently studied, which is why it was called the “seven-year Odyssey.” It continued until 1545, when Nostradamus arrived in Marseille, where, as an assistant to the famous doctor Louis Serra, he participated in the fight against the plague epidemic. Thanks to the resourcefulness, courage and self-control of the doctors, the formidable disease receded. Thus, the scientist regained recognition in his homeland.
In 1546, Nostradamus was invited to Provence, where he led the fight against another epidemic. Truly terrible times have come to the province. It all started with an unprecedented flood caused by prolonged heavy rains.
As the water subsided, numerous corpses of people and animals began to decompose, poisoning the air and infecting the survivors.
In such difficult conditions, Nostradamus managed to defeat the epidemic, skillfully combining preventive measures with the use of his own medicines, developed on the basis medicinal herbs. In addition, the scientist was a talented psychologist who appealed to the primordial feelings of people affected by the flood. Nostradamus turned the biblical truth calling “Believe, and your faith will save you” into a miraculous Catholic cross, which helped him overcome the despair that gripped people.
Gradually, the name of Nostradamus began to become surrounded by fantastic rumors, and he himself turned into a legendary, mystical figure. And there really were reasons for this. With scientific knowledge, future soothsayer tried to maintain people's faith in the miracle of healing. It was not for nothing that in cities affected by the epidemic, bells rang and services were held. So it is not surprising that people saw in Nostradamus a good genius, a deliverer from suffering, and almost idolized him.
Since the scientist chose the church as his ally in the fight against epidemics, the Inquisition for the time being gave him freedom of action. Therefore, in 1547, Michel Nostradamus was able to return to a sedentary lifestyle and settled in small town Salon, located between Marseille and Avignon. Here he married again. From his second marriage he had three sons and three daughters.
Gradually, the fame of Nostradamus began to grow and strengthen not only as a talented doctor, but also as an astrologer and predictor. Since 1550, almanacs of Michel Nostradamus began to be published with prophecies, which consisted of 12 quatrains. Each of them contained predictions for a specific month of the coming year. The Inquisition was again unable to bring any charges against the scientist, because the constant references to astrology and vague ambiguous phrases made the quatrains quite acceptable. Such almanacs were published annually until 1566, when the soothsayer died, and enjoyed unprecedented popularity. So Nostradamus became a real national hero.
Almanacs were a kind of test of the pen. In 1554, Nostradamus began systematic work on the famous and mysterious book of prophecies, known today as “Centuries”, or “Centuries”. They were first published in 1555 and were a great success among their contemporaries. In the form in which they have survived to this day, the “Centuries” consist of two prose messages (to his son, Caesar Nostradamus, and to Henry II, King of France), which in Russia were called the two (small and large) Apocalypses of Nostradamus, and approximately 970 poetic quatrains.
“Centuries” is like a description of the author’s imaginary journey through the future destinies of human history.
This journey through wars, disasters and disasters begins in the 16th century and ends in the fourth millennium, covering the time period from 1559 to 3797. It is perceived as an apocalyptic tragic mystery.
After the publication of Centuries, Nostradamus was invited to Paris, to the court of King Henry II and Catherine de Medici. The journey from Salon to the capital of France lasted about a month and became a real triumph for the soothsayer. The people enthusiastically greeted the conqueror of terrible diseases and the author of a prophetic book.
Catherine de Medici was interested in the content of the Centuries. When she became familiar with the text, she immediately summoned its author to Paris. The Queen was greatly alarmed by the fact that the 35th quatrain of the first century contained an indication of the mortal danger threatening her husband, Henry II, at the age of 41. The king himself was worried. The quatrain said:
The young lion will surpass the old one
On the battlefield in single combat,
He will pierce his eyes through the golden cage,
Two wounds inflicted by one
Then he will die a painful death.
Nostradamus became the queen's personal confidant and soon gained even greater popularity. Many rich and noble people turned to him for advice. In addition, some prophecies of the talented astrologer began to come true.
Thus, Nostradamus predicted the defeat of the French in a battle with the Spaniards and warned against it. Indeed, on September 10, 1557, the Spaniards, led by the Duke of Savoy, defeated French army in the battle of St. Quentin.
Shocked to the core by the disaster and the prediction associated with it, the famous French poet Pierre Ronsard wrote the poem “France after Saint Quentin”, which he dedicated to Nostradamus.
The prophet of your mockery, O France, is waiting for you, And God has chosen him as the herald of adversity. Why do you pay mockery for love? After all, he is ready to sacrifice everything for you!
Who is Nostradamus? Evil spirit or charlatan? Or was this great gift given to him by God? After all, the sky sends secret signs to the earth, Perhaps he alone will understand them correctly.
Gloom and sadness are mixed in his writings, Laughter is permeated with a premonition of anxiety.
I say: he is who he became, He helped those who were tired of the thunderstorm.
And the word with a double bottom hides a world of wonders, The Oracle of ancient eras in it comes to life here. Let everyone know, he spoke the truth, Believe it or not, believe the movements of the luminaries.
Before the fate of the earth, I know he will be right, Since with him and for him is the immortality of good.
In the summer of 1559, the prediction that Nostradamus gave to King Henry II also came true. On the day preceding July 1, 1559, when the double wedding the daughter of King Elizabeth and his sister Margaret, all residents of Paris were notified of a three-day knightly tournament that would take place in the suburb of Saint Antoine, located near the Bastille. Henry had to take part in it. Prince Savoy, who became his son-in-law, reminded the king of the astrologer’s warning and asked him to stop the tournament, but Henry did not heed his son-in-law’s request. The king challenged the young Earl of Montgomery to a fight, who at first refused, but eventually accepted the challenge.
The fight has begun. The royal shield was decorated with an image of a lion, and in the prophecy Nostradamus mentioned exactly two lions.
The young lion, as the astrologer predicted, was luckier. The count broke his spear on the enemy’s helmet, and its fragment, having pierced the king’s golden visor, which really resembled a “golden cage,” pierced through Henry’s left eye.
In addition, real evidence has been preserved of a certain Bishop of Troy, who was present at the king’s duel with the Earl of Montgomery. He claims that both of them were dressed in lion costumes.
As a result of the injury to the left eye, a cerebral hemorrhage occurred, which explains the words of Nostradamus “two wounds inflicted by one.” After a few days, which Henry spent in terrible agony, he died. History has decreed that these tragic circumstances The great master of predictions became even more famous. His contemporaries were simply stunned by the news of the death of the king, and Nostradamus began to be called a magician and wizard.
The prophet also predicted his death. As an experienced doctor, he felt it approaching. When, the night before the death of Nostradamus, his devoted servant and biographer Jacques Chavigny said goodbye to him until tomorrow, the soothsayer answered him: “Tomorrow at dawn I will be gone.” This was his last prediction, and it came true: at dawn on July 17, 1566, Michel Nostradamus really died.
However, after the death of the famous scientist and astrologer, his biography did not end. Much more mysterious and full of drama began posthumous biography author of "Centuries".
Figures of the French Revolution of the 18th century scoffed at the predictions of Nostradamus, who, in particular, foresaw this revolution and condemned its terror. In 1791, rebel guards destroyed the tomb of the soothsayer, located in the chapel of the Franciscan monastery, and scattered his bones. One of them went so far as to drink wine from the skull of Nostradamus. However, faithful admirers of the predictor saved his relics and transferred them to the Church of St. Lawrence in the city of Salona, where they remain to this day.
Nostradamus and his prophecies have always been treated quite controversially. The great master of predictions alternately aroused respect and admiration, and, on the contrary, rage and indignation. So, in the 80s of the XIX century Catholic Church sharply condemned the hobby for Nostradamus. In 1915, Jesuit Father Herbert Thornton wrote a book, War and the Prophets, in which he defended the great astrologer, expressing the idea that people turn to his predictions during tragic periods in human history. Those who have lived through the Iliads of wars and the apocalypses of revolutions discover a special attractive force in Nostradamus’s “Centuries” and “Signs”.
Many find it hard to believe that the prophet predicted bloody destinies future history humanity, and did not describe those events that occurred in the distant past or relatively recently. Nostradamus, as it were, instructs people who, against their will, may be involved in the cycle of all kinds of disasters and catastrophes, to cultivate courage and self-control in order to survive in a possible critical situation. Thus, “Centuries” at all times served as a spiritual and moral point of support for thousands of unfortunate and disadvantaged people.
Disputes among interpreters of Nostradamus about what percentage of his predictions came true are still ongoing. currently. The most contradictory opinions are expressed on this matter. Some believe that 90% of the predictions came true, and 10% remained unfulfilled. Others hold a completely opposite point of view, and they are also very skeptical about fulfilled prophecies, explaining this only by a coincidence of circumstances. Supporters of the third, least categorical point of view are confident that exactly half of the predictions have come true.
What should be taken into account when trying to interpret the prophecies of Nostradamus? It must be remembered that the famous seer was not so much a magician and wizard, but rather a brilliant and courageous philosopher of human history and a talented scientist. Nostradamus himself in his work indicates that his predictions are based on the methods of astrology, and the future events that he allegedly saw in a bowl of water or in the flame of a candle were verified by him by calculating the planets.
Be that as it may, the undeniable fact is that the soothsayer believed in the existence of certain patterns that determine the course of history. Thus, Russian philologist Andrei Kalachinsky, who defended candidate's thesis based on the texts of Michel Nostradamus, argues that the French scientist paid great attention to the study of the laws of history, its cyclicity and key points, as well as unexpected events that occurred in the past and the possible consequences of similar events in the future. Nostradamus created a matrix of historical events and calculated the points of application of the minimum necessary influences to achieve the maximum possible result.
He looked for groups of hieroglyphs in the Book of the Past that were similar to groups of hieroglyphs from the Book of the Future, and tried to predict future events based on known events of the past. Thus, the verse in which Nostradamus foreshadows the death of Henry II was written based on a study of events that occurred a century and a half ago, when Turkish Sultan Bayezid was captured by Timur, after which he was kept in a cage and blinded.
People living today may encounter objective difficulties in interpreting the predictions of Nostradamus. And this is quite natural, since scientist lived in a completely different time from ours, when not only the level social development, but the French language itself was very different from the modern one. That is why the interpretation of Nostradamus’s thoughts contained in his predictions should in no case be approached by the standards of our time. However, extreme caution must be exercised and scientific responsibility must be taken into account in case of erroneous interpretation. Nostradamus is not always precise and specific in his statements; he has many vague, allegorical sayings. Sometimes there are repeating images, strange symbols and letters.
Some prophecies consist of fragments of incomprehensible phrases that give the impression of foolishness. However, if an attentive and, most importantly, competent person reads them, he will be able to decipher them hidden meaning and see in them one of the testimonies of an excited eyewitness to some important events of the future.
In one of the quatrains “Centuries” Nostradamus writes:
In the silence of the night, hidden from the gaze of the hungry, I look into the reflection of the Sacred Flame in the darkness, And in this Mirror of the Fire of times, future pictures Reluctantly come to me.
This is exactly how he saw the future: in a secluded darkened cell “the pictures of times to come” ( rice. 8) appeared to him in the flame of a candle. It was as if he caught and reflected in the mirror of his soul the energy-information flow of the noosphere - the global network of planet Earth, and then described in poetry everything that he was able to see and explain, finding for these reflections a certain place in the system of the universe.
The conditions in which Nostradamus lived and worked forced him to express his thoughts in an allegorical form, resorting to the language of comparisons and allegories. Thus, he avoided persecution from the ubiquitous Inquisition. It is no coincidence that the scientist calls: “Do not prescribe hymns to the saints, do not cast pearls before swine, lest they trample you underfoot and tear you apart when they turn against you.”
Despite the fact that Nostradamus was a court astrologer and physician, the Inquisition established vigilant surveillance over him: every step of the scientist was monitored by an agent specially assigned for this purpose, who reported to the holy fathers the smallest details of his daily life.
Rice. 8. “Pictures of times to come”
In all likelihood, this is why the soothsayer did not go beyond the biblical guidelines in his predictions. In the preface to the Centuries, Nostradamus points out that all his prophecies are inspired by God.
In his “Epistle to his son Caesar,” the astrologer speaks of the ways and means of penetration into the future: “Divine inspiration is that occult first cause, which is guided by two other reasons, important for the admonition of the one who is inspired and prophesies. The first reason is permeated with a supernatural radiance and makes it possible to predict by the movement of the planets; another reason prophesies through a discovery made by human inspiration, but it is, as it were, a contact with Divine eternity and is carried out through God the Creator.”
In addition, one more circumstance should be taken into account. Unlike many of his predecessors, Nostradamus took a position of blind fate.
This was a direct violation of the commandment of the astrologer, who had no right to be a fatalist. Nostradamus begins many of his prophecies with words that do not allow any appeals: “This is how the Lord wishes” or “This is how it is destined to be.”
Many scientists claim that the scientist’s creations consist of complete mysteries. Thus, Pavel Globa, who began studying “Centuries” in 1972, drew attention to the fact that the author often breaks words into parts, divides them with artificial hyphens and, most surprisingly, even makes grammatical errors that are not appropriate for the person who defended master's thesis on the difficulties encountered in Latin. The modern astrologer was alarmed by this circumstance, and he put forward a version that interested many scientists studying the work of Nostradamus. What if the time of the predicted events is encrypted in the quatrains?
It turned out that each line actually means a certain number, and the scientist resorted to grammatical errors in order to correctly encrypt the dates. Moreover, he often had to encrypt not only the time, but also the content of events.
Thus, the study and interpretation of the vast legacy of Nostradamus is a complex and painstaking scientific work, requiring serious astrological, philological, historical and other preparation and, of course, sufficiently developed intuition.
