Do you think Nostradamus, the famous 16th century "e;Prophet of Provence,"e; was some kind of magician, perhaps a doctor, astrologer and seer too? If so, Peter Lemesurier's revelation that he was really just an ordinary man using an equally ordinary technique may come as a shock. After re-examining the original sources, Lemesurier concludes that Nostradamus was in fact neither a doctor nor an astrologer, nor even (by his own admission) a prophet. He merely believed that history repeats itself, thus and projected known past events onto the future. To do so, he used the process of bibliomancy - randomly selecting extracts of randomly chosen books, then claiming "e;divine inspiration."e; Unsurprisingly, he has almost never been proved right. Includes CD containing actual facsimiles of original books ranging from the 1555 edition of Nostradamus's prophecies to the late 1668 version. 'A radically new view on Nostradamus' prophecy-making, supported by a biography putting things back into the right perspective, along with the most literal and up-to-date translation so far."e;-Wouter Weyland, International Nostradamus Research Group"e;It is surprising to find that a book on such a topic can be so readable, interesting and encompassing....."e;-David Hill, Emeritus Professor of Computer Science, University of Calgary
