1672129189London: Thomas Radcliffe and Nathaniel Thompson 1672. First edition in English of Nostradamus famous prophetical work. Folio contemporary calf title page printed in red and black. In very good condition. Rare and desirable in contemporary calf. A physician by trade Michel de Nostredame "began his prophetic writings in the early 1540s with a series of short yearly almanacs in which he made predictions in verse. The new art of printing gratified a popular demand for supernaturally acquired 'certainty' and such almanacs were a common literary production of the day. It was with Les Prophéties 1555 however that Nostradamus became an author of contemporary reputation and a figure who has had an impact on later history… His more than 1000 rhyming quatrains arranged in 'centuries' of 100 constitute the largest body of prophetic verse prepared to that day perhaps in all literature" Clute & Grant 694. By blending scholarly learning received folklore and religious sentiment in richly symbolic highly poetic and frequently innovative language—and by crafting veiled commentary on the celebrities scandals warfare and pressing issues of his day—Nostradamus captured both the public's imagination and the French royal family's patronage. The doctor-seer's influence continues: readers have found in his prophecies such crises as the French Revolution and both World Wars and several have interpreted his reference to war erupting in the Balkans or the Middle East as a glimpse at the end of the world. "More than any other writer in modern times Nostradamus knew how to titillate the deep-seated craving felt by potentate and plebeian alike to foresee the future near and remote" DSB. Wing N1399.
