Robb was an early twentieth century interpreter of Nostradamus's prophecies, with a big emphasis on Nostradamus's supposed prophecies of French history. No biggie there, as Nostradamus was a French prophet, wouldn't most of his prophecies be geared at the French? Robb here does his admirable and scholarly best to try and prove that the quatrains he choose do that. But, of course, it is all a matter of post-diction, selective cherry-picking, and outré interpretations of words and phrases and anagrams sometimes but not others. Oddly, Robb doesn't select the young lion, old lion joust quatrain to explify. And Robb is okay with admitting Nostradamus is wrong, like p. 37: "It seems then that Nostradamus got the color of his hair wrong." And, prophecy C87, Q71 on astrologers in 1607? Robb repeats the fiction that there was a Council at Malines in 1607 that condemned astrology. Even Hogue is honest enough to admit there was no such council or ruling or anything in 1607 that could conceivable be construed to fulfill this prophecy.

Over the past four centuries, Nostradamus's predictions have proven startlingly accurate. Long before their actual invention, mechanical devices such as the periscope, the submarine, and the airplane appear in accurate detail in the great seer's journals. Other passages foresee Napoleon's conquest, the Bolshevik Revolution, the rise of Hitler, and countless events yet to come. The French occultist won extraordinary fame in his own lifetime, curing thousands in the plague years by unorthodox remedies. He published his first collection of prophecies in 1555, and had composed 1100 quatrains by the time of his death. Stewart Robb's concise translation selects Nostradamus's most lauded prophecies, tracing their symbolism, anagrams, and mythological allusions. Robb's scholarly expertise elucidates every facet of these remarkable writings which remain eerily insightful to this day. Prophecies on World Events remains our potent and vital companion as we enter the twenty-first century. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
