Centuries 1 Quatrain 48 (C.I Q.48)

Nostradamus- Centuries 1 Quatrain 48

I consider the following verse to be like C.1 Q.47 in that it is another of Nostradamus major references to his use of astronomic code. Its context and conformity with the visible message help to show how the anagrams amplify the detail of each of its lines.

 C.I Q.48.

• When twenty years of the Moon's reign have passed
• another will take up his reign for seven thousand years
• When the exhausted Sun takes up his cycle
• then my prophecy and threats will be accomplished.

 

1. Vingt ans du regne de la lune paSSezT
2. Sept mil ans autre tiendra Sa monarchie
3. Quand le Soleil prendra Ses jours laSSez
4. Lors accomplit et mine ma prophetie.

RELATED EXTRACT IN EPISTLE TO HENRY:

• H3.3 Nevertheless, I wanted to leave a record in writing ..Action commencing from the present time, which is March 14, 1557, and going far beyond to the events which will take place at the beginning of the 7th millenary. ...NOSTRADAMUS 1558

The first line has consecutive anagrams referring to the a source  namely Paulean.Legend. (gne de lalune pa).  Paulean only occurs  in two other quatrains beside this one so it qualifies as a rare anagram.

This verse shows the purpose linking Nostradamus' sources since the second line has anagrams which say NOSTRADAMIEN.PLANETTARIUMS Animals retained as true harmonic time-ciphers. Alternate anagrams also suggest this is the true talisman. In the fourth line the anagrams state  I complicate time roles Prophet name MEANTIME IN PTOLEMI COMPACTILE MAP ECTOPLASMIC (spirit) SOLAR TITLE . Most of these anagrams are extremely rare with animals the most abundant at six occurrences. And these ideas unite the work of Agrippa with those of the astronomer Ptolemy since both these men used the idea of musical harmonies to explain the movement patterns of the planets against the stars. In his work on planetary movements Agrippa suggests substitute names as code for both planets and significant asterisms with such a set of names being that of animals and another  that of demons.
