Nostradamus

View Poster

Spotlight: Nostradamus, the French astrologer and physician, was born on this date in 1503. His book, Les Propheties (1555), was a collection of prophecies, written in rhyme and generally considered to be obscure and symbolic. Nostradamus was said to be afraid of persecution for heresy, which is why his prophecies are cloaked in mystery and double meanings.
