Centuries 2 Quatrain 21 (C.II Q.21)

Nostradamus- Centuries 2 Quatrain 21   This verse is another of those that gives every appearance of being central to Nostradamus' coding methods. Its anagram based message gives strong hints about his contorted techniques and his relationship with the decoder of the Prophecies. The 'albam' technique is a substitution method by the ancient Hebrews and involves progressively swapping the letters from the middle of the alphabet with those at the end (a for l, b for m etc). Although the relationship between the visible text and the hidden content remains obscure it is possible to see it as a description of the difficulties any person will face as he tries to present Nostradamus' work to the world.   C.2 Q.21   The ambassador sent by biremes, Halfway repelled by unknown ones: Reinforced with salt four triremes will come,  In Euboea bound with ropes and chain L'amba$$adeur enuoye par biremes     A my chemin d'incogneus repoulsez     De $el renfort viendront quatre triremes     Cordes et chaines au Negre pont trou$$ez.      Anagram sequences found in the above lines of French text. <aLbam aSSured> <you endure><repay miserabLe ouuner> <my superzeAlous><encoding pouuers><my-mAchine unrecognised><coding runes in><europe's > <pouuerless mAze> <seem elDerS retire><elSe remeDies not front quartet driven> <our portent uSeS Coderz><portentouS>< geNre><teaches in Coderz><secret-Code>
