A uniquely serious and accessible overview of the life and work of the mysterious sixteenth-century seer Michel de Nostradamus.
From his uncarmy prédiction of the death of the French King Henri II in the sixteenth century, to his reputed precognition of World War II, Michel de Nostradamus has aroused continuai fascination—and exploitation—in the West. During the Second World War, both the Nazis and the Allies used his prophecies as propaganda.

A uniquely serious and accessible overview of the life and work of the mysterious sixteenth-century seer Michel de Nostradamus.
From his uncarmy prédiction of the death of the French King Henri II in the sixteenth century, to his reputed precognition of World War II, Michel de Nostradamus has aroused continuai fascination—and exploitation—in the West. During the Second World War, both the Nazis and the Allies used his prophecies as propaganda. Today, many search his elliptical verses for new truths about 9/11 and the "End Times," while supermarket tabloids routinely falsify his pronouncements.
What is the différence between prophecy and prédiction, and how has it led to a misuse of the ideas of Nostradamus, as well as those of other post-biblical prognosticators? What is the nature of the prophétie tradition in the West, and how can Nostradamus be understood from this perspective? In The Essential Nostradamus, the highly regarded spiritual thinker and writer Richard Smoley provides a true sourcebook on the life and messages of one of history's most peculiar figures.
This volume offers a host of advantages beyond other collections of Nostradamus's work. Many commentators on Nostradamus take liberties in their translations, further confusing the matter of what the prophétie quatrains actually said. In The Essential Nostradamus, Smoley presents a fresh, scholarly, and literal translation of Nostradamus's Middle French, allowing readers to make their own détermination as to the passages' historical references and accuracy.
Smoley also supplies detailed commentary on Nostradamus's key quatrains, with a sharp eye toward the political and social events of the writer's era—elements that many commentators over-look or fail to grasp. An authoritative biographical essay—highlighting Nostradamus's separate rôles as physician, astrologer, and prognosticator—rounds out the volume to create a truly essential exposition of the work of one of Western culture's most mysterious men.
Richard Smoley was a longtime editor of the respected spiritual journal Gnosis, and is the author of Inner Christianity and Forbidden Faith: The Gnostic Legacy from the Gospels to The Da Vinci Code and coauthor of Hidden Wisdom. He is also editor of Quest Books. Vissza
