5.0 out of 5 stars
Very well researched!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Unknown Nostradamus: 500th Anniversary Biography (Hardcover)
Here is, finally, a biography of Michel de Nostredame that is based on objective research. The amount of information presented in this biography, and its accompanying appendices (which include translations of Nostradamus' lesser-known writings), clearly indicates that Lemesurier has conducted a considerable amount of research in order to produce this fascinating and very different book on Michel de Nostradame. A history of the man himself is presented along with supporting correspondences and publications from Nostradamus' lifetime, a few of which would come as quite a shock to modern American "fans" of Nostradamus.I would recommend this book to anyone who has a either serious in, or a mere curiousity about, the man Michel de Nostredame - AKA Nostradamus.

A comprehensive and up-to-date biography,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Unknown Nostradamus: 500th Anniversary Biography (Hardcover)
Published in honor of the 500th anniversary of his birth, The Unknown Nostradamus by linguist, translator, educator, and Nostradamus expert Peter Lemesurier is a comprehensive and up-to-date biography of Nostradamus, the medieval prophet whose predictions are still closely studied today. Extensively researched, filled with translations of contemporary critiques of Nostradamus' work, offering full translations of surviving documents, and much, much more, The Unknown Nostradamus is a "must-read" for anyone seeking to learn more about this remarkable figure and his metaphysical and encoded prophetic visions.

Finally! Here's book that delivers an objective account of the life and times of Michel de Nostredame. Kudos to Mr. Lemesurier for his in-depth explanations and descriptions of the influences surrounding Nostredame's prophesies. If you're seeking the truth and have an open mind, this book is a MUST read!
