Nostradamus Repository

About Nostradamus
and Les Propheties

Michel de Nostredame (Nostradamus)
December 14, 1503 – July 1, 1566

This online repository of Les Propheties features the 1840 Bareste edition.  This edition features the original 10 Centuries in the Old French, with reliable English language translations.

While many notable editions have followed the 1840 Bareste edition, the 19th century Continental English language translations of this work most closely reflect Old French as it was used in the time of Nostradamus.

The 1840 Bareste edition of Les Propheties was sourced from three preceding editions of the work as noted below:

Centuries 1, 2, 3 and 4

First Printing, May 4, 1555
Macé Bonhomme
Lyons, France

The first edition of  Les Propheties by Nostradamus was printed on May 4, 1555 in Lyons by Macé Bonhomme.  

This first edition contained the Preface to his son César plus 353 quatrains as follows:

• Century 1 — All 100 quatrains
• Century 2 — All 100 quatrains
• Century 3 — All 100 quatrains
• Century 4 — First 53 of 100 quatrains

The remaining 47 quatrains of Century 4 were later published in the 1557 Du Rosne edition.

Centuries 4, 5, 6 and 7

Third Printing, 1557
Du Rosne
Lyons, France

This edition of Les Propheties  was first printed in 1557 by Du Rosne in Lyon.  It was long considered to be the second edition after the Bonhomme edition in 1555, but is now regarded as the third edition of the work, since the discovery of the 1557 Utrecht edition.

This edition offer the following additions to original first printing by Bonhomme in 1555:

• Century 4 —  Last 47 of 100 quatrains
• Century 5 —  All 100 quatrains
• Century 6 —  All 100 quatrains
• Century 7 —  First 40 of 42 quatrains

With the publication of this edition, all 100 quatrains of Century 4 were now in print.  This edition also featured the first 40 of the 42 quatrains of Century 7.  The last 2 quatrains of Century 7 were later published in the 1568 Rigaud edition.

Centuries 7, 8, 9 and 10

Fourth Printing, 1568
Benoist Rigaud
Lyons, France

The 1568 Benoist Rigaud edition of Les Propheties is the most famous edition, and is split into two books.

This edition offer the following additions to original first printing by Bonhomme in 1555 and the third printing by Du Rosne in 1557:

• Century 7 —  Last 2 of 42 quatrains
• Century 8 —  All 100 quatrains
• Century 9 —  All 100 quatrains
• Century 10 —  All 100 quatrains

Various copies of this edition have been reported by Nostradamus scholars and is generally regarded as the  "benchmark" edition of the work.

Advanced Study

A few rare editions of Les Propheties  followed the 1568 Rigaud  edition and offer a limited numbers of quatrains for Centuries 11 and 12.  Since they are not referenced by the 1840 Bareste edition the are not available from this online repository.  However, they can be  can be viewed on the  Propheties web site from Italy.

We strongly urge those making a serious study of the writings of Nostradamus to study the many different editions of Les Centuries published on the Web.

Planet X Special Report No. 1: Where is Planet X?

We often received emails from people complaining about the mockery and abuse they receive from family, friends and co-workers when discussing this topic.

Our view is that this topic should never be introduced to others, until they demonstrate a geniune interest.

Nonetheless, those with a genuine interest in the topic will feel a natural urge to share their concerns about a possible threat to themselves and those close to them. Consequently, the most common questions they ask are, "where is Planet X, and what is the most likely worst case scenario?" GO

The Big Six Man-Made Catastrophic Scenarios for 2012 and Beyond — Survival Author Matthew Stein and Jacco van der Worp MSc

As moviegoers flock to see Sony's new 2012 film, critics, debunkers and cynics are spewing forth a flood of poison pen pronouncements. 

Taken altogether, it is a bizarre twist on the Biblical story of Noah and the Flood — and with strikingly similar themes. 

For those new to the topic of 2012, the film is great entertainment, but it also drives home an ancient failing of humanity.  That the common folk are often the last to know, whether by their own choices or those made for them by wealthy and powerful elites.   Ergo, many will never ask, "where will I be in 2012?"  They'll just have enough time to ask, "My God, what's happening?"
