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.

Old French as it was used in the time of Nostradamus.

Keeping Healthy Survivors Healthy
Survival Wellness Advocacy (SWA) is a vocational calling for those in awareness who seek to answer the fundamental question, “what can I do to be useful to any survival community?” For those who lack obvious survival vocational skills such as gunsmithing, farming, off the grid energy engineering and ham radio operation, Survival Wellness Advocacy is a fast-track way to acquire an equally useful vocational skill.

This edition of Les Propheties was first printed in 1557 by Du

- Century 9 — All 100 quatrains
- Century 10 — All 100 quatrains
Various copies of this edition have been reported by Nostradamus scholars and

edition and offer a limited numbers of quatrains for Centuries 11 and 12.
