This New Albion Press edition contains all ten "centuries," or groups of 100 quatrains, that make up the Prophecies, is illustrated with contemporary paintings and woodcuts, as well as later illustrations, and includes Nostradamus' letters to his son César and to Henri II King of France.
A reissue of Erika Cheetham's final volume on Nostradamus's prophecies, immaculately researched and based on the original text. Since Nostradamus's predictions first appeared in print, his reputation has grown through the centuries and throughout the world. This French physician, seer and astrologer foresaw the historic events of his own and future times with remarkable clarity. In this volume, Erika Cheetham presents fresh translations and interpretations of Nostradamus's last prophecies - and focuses on new and startling predictions through to the end of this millennium, which are specifically indicated to aid the reader. Nostradamus predicts: frequent earthquakes over the eighth and ninth decades of this century; the increase of the AIDS epidemic though also a possible cure; the coming of the so-called third antichrist; the last monarch in Great Britain; continuing unrest and strife in the Middle East, which lead to; the advent - and outcome - of a Third World War.
