Zustand: Gut. 823 S.; 23,5 cm. Gutes Ex.; Umschl. stw. berieben; Seiten leicht gebräunt. - Englisch. - Nostradamus' prophecies have aroused the intense and unflagging interest of millions of English-speaking men and women in the four centuries since they were first published. Yet, although they have inspired many books, the prophecies have never previously been presented in a complete and scholarly translation. The only translations of any kind of all Nostradamus' prophecies are contained in a superficial and careless work of 1672 and in an adaptation of it published in 1947. Nostradamus and His Prophecies provides the long-overdue exhaustive translation. The complete original prophecies are printed in a definitive modern text based on word-by-word comparison of the earliest editions, with the English translation on facing pages. Notes below the text clarify doubtful wording, while in the extensive Commentary section the author indicates what Nostradamus probably had in mind or, where this is impossible to determine, at least the geographical and historical implications. The Commentary section also includes the most famous interpretations-and also the most infamous. To further assist the general reader in comprehending Nostradamus' prophecies, the Commentary section is preceded by a survey of the historical background of the prophecies and a chronology of significant dates with captions as readable as tabloid headlines-which they often resemble. For the benefit of the general reader, the Nostradamian enthusiast and the serious critic alike, the author provides a series of indexes, by far the most complete ever compiled, invaluable for comparing quatrains with similar geographical settings, similar proper names, similar themes and the like. This astonishingly comprehensive work, however, deals with considerably more than Nostradamus' prophecies alone. Other sections cover all possible aspects of Nostradamus: The "Biography of Nostradamus" provides the most complete one in English, possibly in any language. Even the complete text of the last will and testament of Nostradamus is appended and fully translated. A personal letter, again with complete original text and full translation, demonstrates that Nostradamus could "talk plainly." The complex bibliography of earliest editions of Nostradamus, really a complete work in itself, exposes many misconceptions and provides a long-needed definitive treatment. The bibliography of Nostradamus' commentators and critics provides a history, often humorous, of four centuries of mixed adulation and abuse of the controversial prophet. Last, but far from least, in a section entitled "Background and Rules of the Game" the author seeks to answer the questions "How and why did Nostradamus do it?"
