Format:Hardcover
Lemesurier's book is a significant effort to reveal the written sources underlying the prophecies of Nostradamus. He especially manages to show convincingly how Nostradamus drew on contemporary publications for implicit references in his abundant use of omens. In this way Lemesurier reveals where Nostradamus really took his "inspiration" for many of his prophetic verses. This book represents one more substantial step in the critical evaluation of the work of the famous Renaissance prophet.

Battle with Islamic nations amply predicted
9 Oct 2001
Format:Paperback
I bought this book last year, and amongst the things that impressed me, was the large amount of predictions of battles between the Arabic/Islamic nations and the West. That was last year...
I recommend this book, because of the author's serious and scholarly approach to Nostradamus. The author takes great pains to explain HOW and WHY he translates the old and peculiar French used by Nostradamus, and the geography of his times (when the U.S.A. didn't even exist yet), to the current day. The author also never denies the difficulty of interpreting.
In summary, I liked the book, because it takes translating and interpreting Nostradamus serious.
However, do we have the stomach for what lies ahead according to these predictions...? But wasn't the Apocalypse, to which reference is made in the title, written at least a thousand years before, in the Bible? And in many other religous texts, even the Koran, for that matter?
So why are we still surprised?

Not a genuine reprinting
4 Oct 2008
Format:Hardcover
What I wanted was a modern reprint of the original. What I got is a book that has only the quatrains, but NONE of the images. The page numbers are also all off because of the omissions. I would also like to have the original verse along side the translation.
This book is anything but complete. And is a waste if you want all of the clues intact. It's no wonder people can't understand it.
