References, Citations and Notes
All charts and planetary positions were calculated using Solar Fire version 9 in Windows. In citations from Edgar Leoni’s book, one of my main references, I specify the Century and Quatrain numbers for poems, or Page:Paragraph numbers for prose writings. Within my text, direct quotations from Nostradamus are printed in a different font and color, usually with the citation source next to the quotation for easy reference.
In the listings below, in order to make it easier to find the location of the text within a long webpage that doesn’t have bookmarks, I print the name of the page and then the title of the specific section(s) in the following format:
Name of Page: Title Section 1, Title Section 2… (followed by the web domain, date, and the webpage hyperlink)
Example: “Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor: Art collecting and patronage, Occult sciences”
For those new to Nostradamus, download a free PDF or eBook containing both books of Nostradamus’s “The Prophecies” and some of his Almanacs:
https://www.globalgreyebooks.com/prophecies-of-nostradamus-ebook.html#downloads
This digital document is generously available at no cost, although one can make a donation. It includes the translation into English only, and is a good beginning read of his works. Most of the eBook is identical to Leoni’s English translations.
To the serious researcher I recommend the book by Edgar Leoni (see below for details). It includes just about everything that was known about Michel de Nostredame at the time of its writing (1961). It also contains his poetic Quatrains and his prose pieces. These are presented in a format perfect for study. His original French version is printed on the pages on the left, with Leoni’s corresponding English translations on the right-hand pages.
My English translations are sometimes different than Leoni’s, decoding what I believe are Nostradamus’s true meanings. His Quatrains were written as poems, every other line rhyming. As such, he had to use words and sometimes a confusing order of words to fit the tempo of the poem and to rhyme. When I translate into English from the original French, I try to retain this order in case it is part of his secret code even though it might be a little more difficult to read. As in other poems, a phrase can sometimes have multiple meanings.
