NOSTRADAMUS - SAMPLE QUATRAINS
Within a hundred and fifty years of the death of Nostradamus (1566), the main body of his quatrains had been adjusted an edited into what was regarded by most editors as a reputable and reliable form. However, the popularity of the texts meant that they were frequently published without much care. The example of seven verses (quatrains) from the First Book, is from the Jean-Baptiste Besongne (Rouen) edition of Les Vrayes Centuries et Propheties de Maistre Michel Nostradamus, 1710

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Nostradamus' quatrains, offering a glimpse into the enigmatic world of this renowned French seer. Within 150 years after his passing in 1566, diligent editors painstakingly adjusted and edited his prophecies to create what was considered a trustworthy compilation. However, due to their immense popularity, these texts were often published without proper scrutiny. The featured image presents seven verses from the First Book of Nostradamus' prophetic works. This particular edition is attributed to Jean-Baptiste Besongne from Rouen and was published in 1710 under the title "Les Vrayes Centuries et Propheties de Maistre Michel Nostradamus". These quatrains offer an intriguing insight into the esoteric and paranormal realms that captivated both believers and skeptics alike. It is important to note that this photograph does not pertain to any commercial use or reference any specific company. Instead, it serves as a historical artifact that sheds light on the enduring fascination surrounding Nostradamus' predictions. As we gaze upon these ancient verses, we are reminded of humanity's eternal quest for knowledge about our future and how figures like Nostradamus continue to intrigue us centuries later.
