The book: This rare 1669 edition of Nostradamus's prophecies offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Renaissance predictions. Revered for his poetic and cryptic verses, Michel de Nostradamus remains a compelling figure in literary and occult history. This volume, published more than a century after his death, collects his famed quatrains, which purport to foretell significant events in Europe and beyond. A highly collectible example of early printed works on prophecy, the book is ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of esoterica. The title page indicates it was "revised and corrected following the first editions printed in Avignon in 1558 and Lyon in 1558." Includes a preface "Advertissement au Lecteur" and "La Vie de Maistre Michel Nostradamus," providing a biographical sketch of the author.

The author: Michel de Nostredame (1503–1566), known as Nostradamus, was a French astrologer, physician, and seer. Celebrated for his "Centuries," a series of poetic quatrains, Nostradamus gained fame for his alleged ability to predict future events. His writings have fascinated readers for centuries, inspiring both admiration and skepticism.
