Nostradamus (14 or 21 December 1503 – 2 July 1566), usually Latinised to Nostradamus, was a French astrologer, physician and reputed seer, known for his book Les Prophéties, a collection of 942 poetic quatrains allegedly predicting future events. The book was first published in 1555.

Life[edit]

Nostradamus was born on either 14 or 21 December 1503 in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Provence, France, where his claimed birthplace still exists, and baptized Michel. He was one of at least nine children of notary Jaume de Nostredame and Reynière, granddaughter of Pierre de Saint-Rémy who worked as a physician in Saint-Rémy.

Career[edit]

Nostradamus's father was a notary, a person who could perform certain legal functions, which provided a good income for the family. Nostradamus's mother was of Jewish descent, and he was raised in the Jewish faith. He was educated by his maternal great-grandfather, Jean de St. Rémy, a physician of renown, in medicine, astrology, and other sciences.

Works[edit]

Nostradamus's most famous work, Les Prophéties (The Prophecies), was published in 1555. It is a collection of 942 poetic quatrains (four-line poems), which are said to predict future events. Nostradamus's prophecies have been studied and interpreted by people all over the world for centuries.

Legacy[edit]

Nostradamus's work has had a lasting impact on the world. His prophecies have been interpreted in many different ways, and they continue to be studied and debated today. Some people believe that Nostradamus predicted major world events, while others think that his prophecies are too vague to be considered accurate.
