Nostradamus Michel de Notredame was for years a wandering physician until 1547 when he married a wealthy widow. His major energies though were directed towards the pursuit of knowledge from the ancient Hebrew prophets to whose religion his ancestors had adhered until his grandfather converted to Catholicism. In 1555 he claimed divine inspiration for his astrological forecasts and his first book of prophecies was printed in Lyon. This work garnered him instant success and by the end of the year he was summoned to the French court to cast the horoscopes of the royal children. "Although he earned both admiration and enmity already in his own time the controversy over the credibility of his vague prognostications endures" Kenney. Caillet III 8073.
