The reviews above are for a different edition. There is no Latin in this edition and I found the book to be exactly what it claims to be.

Reading this book leaves you wondering with your own illustrations and possibilities without the opinion or influence of what others think which in turn could be a positive or a negative thing. To me it was a positive thing because i wanted to see first hand the contents "directly from the horses mouth". I recommend it to those who tend to have more independent thinking.

This is a great book if you're a fan or like to collect. It is a little difficult to get at first seeing as the prophecies are arranged by dates rather than the time they were written. Either way for the price it is a good read to pass time for a week or if you're a fan then as a collectible.

First the seller is very quick on getting the item out and to your door! Very good book! Highly recommend if interested in his work or even just wanting to browse his views on the future and past to us. Very Nice!

Although I haven't read all the quatrains, the ones I have read were really profound. I enjoyed reading this translation of Nostradamus's prophecies especially seeing some of them come true whilst reading it in 1999 and 2000, if my memory serves me correctly. It is wonderfully written with excitement and wisdom. It is a good book to buy on Nostradamus for anyone who is interested in understanding his work and life.

Where the heck is Century 2 - Quatrain 51 ?! The one that predicts the London fire of '66?!

A big f.u to Nostradamus... he nailed one and they don't even include it!

Im a skeptic in most everything. That aside, I am fascinated by the historical aspect of the man Nostradamus himself. As for this book, it is an ok read, but a little hard to follow.

I do wonder if Nostradamus predicted we would be reading his work on a kindle 2...

This book was very simple to follow, although it didn't show when these prediction happened. All that was provided was an English translation of the quatrains and no explanation of what they meant or how thy fit into the past or present. This was a waste of money. If you want a good understanding of the prophesies purchase another book. Very disappointing!

This book is good to have for a reference. The problem is it is written in two launages - I believe Latin and then in English - It is difficult to understand. It dosent seem to say exactly what Nostradamus predicited. I guess I'm looking for something more easier. Such as - NOSTRADAMUS PREDICTED THIS.....THIS DID HAPPEN ON.....SO NOSTRADAMUS WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OFF or whatever! That would be nice. Also, the book sends you to different "quatrains". That is hard to do with a book thats hard to understand. I recommend Nostradamus 2003-2025: A History of the Future by Peter Lorie over this book. Except it tells from 2003-2025, not 1600-2025.

Nostradamus and His Prophecies ( Edgar Leoni )

ANY offering of Nostradamus' prophecies, that doesn't include the original middle-French, is bogus:
you CANNOT know how accurate the translation is, then!

The version I had had a slightly different cover, and had both languages,
and from my minimal knowing of French ( & ability to do research ),
I could see clearly that there were some incredibly "optimistic" or phony translations...

That is the problem with having a "believer" do translation:
instead of translation, it becomes propaganda!

Get the Leoni book, instead, and enjoy the tedium of a skeptic giving you nearly everything,
bad & good, contradictory or not, & then you can get some correct knowing!

( no I don't consider skepticism to be something valid when it turns into a religion,
and yes Leoni to some extent embodies that,
but relying on "believers" to tell one what is what is far worse! )

Cheers!
