( The Concordance of Nostradamus’s Prophecies with History, from Henry II to Louis the Great.
The Life and Apology of this author

Paris: Jacques Morel ; 1693

Rare edition of this erudite work that seeks to demonstrate the correspondence between the quatrains of the famous astrologer and the historical events that occurred in France between the reigns of Henry II and Louis XIV

The author proceeds with a chronological reading of the prophecies, confronting them with wars, political intrigues and the great transformations of the kingdom. The book illustrates the XVIIth century fascination with divination and the interpretation of signs, while reflecting the intellectual and religious climate of the era

This work constitutes a precious patrimonial witness to the reception of Nostradamus in both scholarly and popular culture, offering a systematic attempt to link prophecy and history.
It embodies both scholarly curiosity and the spirit of belief that characterized the late XVIIth century
