Oracles of Nostradamus

Ward one of the most well-known scholars of Nostradamus presents an effective analysis of the famous prophecies. In addition to historical analysis (although there is plenty of that) he presents additional analysis such as Nostradamus''s apparent anticipation of future language that provide an additional sign of Nostradamus''s foresight.As tool for interpreting the prophecies themselves in the context of history the book is a seminal work. As Ward wrote more than a century ago obviously predictions related to events in the 20th and 21st centuries do not receive the same attention. But for older events particularly the French Revolution the analysis in unparalleled.
