Quatrain Lists eMail Link My Rules etc My Web Site My e-Books Nostradamus' Death Verse Series. (C.03 Q.40, C.04 Q.07, C.06 Q.85, C.09 Q.83, C.10 Q.77) There are only five verses where the anagram for 'death' can be found in Nostradamus' Prophecies and although they relate to different times in the history of man they bring unity to Nostradamus' main goal, the description of a significant period of death. The text of each gives strong clues as to the period on which its allusion draws. For instance C.3 Q.40 draws strongly on the post Ragnarok world foretold in the Norse Twilight of the Gods while C.6 Q.85 derives its allusion from the Crusader Guynemer at the battle of Tarsus in 1098. The main thrust of these verses is the parallelism with events beyond 2100CE when crusades and end-of-days scenarios will terminate the reign of gods.   Nostradamus' code is built by patterns just as is the image in a carpet. And the threads on their own are no real clue to that final image. These five verses are no exception but several threads glisten in the text. The repetition of 'grand theatre' and the implication that it is set up again take on meaning once the full image is known. The grand theatre is the Earth and it is the story of its near-total destruction and renewal that provide the main threads.  There are also common threads using number and concepts of destruction througout these verses. But much is contained in the anagrams found in the text and it is the interwoven links provided in the form of a Sephirot or World Tree that enable the image to glow in colourful, well-defined detail. The five verses are presented below so the range and content can be known before the fuller analysis begins. The great theater will come to be set up again: The dice cast and the snares already laid. Too much the first one will come to tire in the destruction Prostrated by arches already a long time split. The minor son of the great and hated Prince, He will have a great touch of leprosy at the age of twenty Of grief his mother will die very sad and emaciated And he will die where the loose flesh falls. The great city of Tharse by the Gauls Will be destroyed, all of the Turban captives: Help by sea from the great one of Portugal, First day of summer Urban's consecration. Sun twentieth of Taurus the earth will tremble very greatly It will ruin the great theater filled: To darken and trouble air, sky and land, Then the infidel will call upon God and saints. Thirty adherents of the order of quyretres Banished, their possessions given their adversaries All their benefits will be taken as misdeeds, Fleet dispersed, delivered to the Corsairs. These verses proceed in a credible order that sets the time (2100CE+), the main participant (sickly prince), the place (lands of the 1st crusade), the main event (war of religions> and its aftermath (devastationg air pollution). In the first verse disaster via asteroids that shatter airports and pasture lands. There are a group of words found as anagrams bur rare elsewhere that focus on this theme of devastation and desolation. The  text itself reads like the vision of life after Ragnarok, the Twilight of the Gods sung by the Norse Voluspa while the anagrams focus on the destructive phase. This setting fits to the major mutations and their timing that Nostradamus claimed were the focus of his prophecies. His stated five year gap in which his prophecies would remain hidden gives an unambiguous dating of the period in which these events take This same verse and its anagrams are presented in several of my papers on major events in  this century and it features prominently in my paper called Fire in the Sky,  The whole narrative involving the Nordic tales and the 21st Century can be read in my Kindle book Nostradamus: Impact on the 21st Century. Wikipedia- final part of Ragnarok synopsis Finally a beautiful reborn world will rise from the ashes of death and destruction where Baldr and Höðr will live again in a new world where the earth sprouts abundance without sowing seed. C.III Q.40 The great theater will come to be set up again: The dice cast and the snares already laid. Too much the first one will come to tire in the destruction Prostrated by arches already a long time split. Le grand theatre $e viendra redre$$er Les dez jettez et les rets ia tendus Trop le premier en glaz viendra la$$er Par arcs pro$trais de long temps ja fendus Anagram sequences in French Text. <earth See LeSSer invader granted><anger death><Larger invader redreSS>< LeSSer danger threat><adherant Serve> <treaties end jetz eLudes ><zet letters sustained><rest insuLated seed><instead z(ed) eLudes letters zee><reinstated jetz eLudes>  <alaS evangelizer rePorts invader regimen><propel arreSTS><peTrol prime evangeliser> <leonids Star><alongside><long aSteroids><crops long diSaster><Star desolating crops><cars airportS unsPared><japs lodgements sufPend><golden s ratioS> FREQUENCIES OF RAREST OCCURRENCE in Centuries evangelizer, jetz, asteroids propel, adherant, alongside, japs, disaster, lodgements desolating, reinstated treaties / treatise death, insulated regimen, sustained threat arrests, unspared The above verse sets the scene for the events to follow. At the time that the Earth is devastated by major geophysical events the populace will be reduced to a state of turmoil. During this time one death will have a greater impact than any other. This tale with its elaborate detaii is consistent with that I have establisehed for the period 2100CE and beyond. In the next verse the text talks of a specific medical issue affecting the youngest member of a royal line. The anagrams incorporate words such as anhydrate, pentahydric and elemine which together adequately descibe a antibiotic medication in lozenge form. The anagrams also  identify the victim as a Cyprian of lower royal rank and suggests he dies through improper use of his medicine. It appears his death leads to turmoil in those groups that don't hold the orthodox view of Christ's ascension.   C.IV Q.07   The minor son of the great and hated Prince, He will have a great touch of leprosy at the age of twenty Of grief his mother will die very sad and emaciated And he will die where the loose flesh falls.

The text reads like a notable event of 1098CE when the First Crusade urged by Pope Urban II led to a battle in which a leader of the army from Gaulois (Northern France, Belgium etc) fought alongside fellow French man (Baldwin) against another Christian leader (Tancred). The town of Tarsus where this took place was already occupied by Baldwin and its arab occupants were held as captives. The following is an entry in a Wikipedia page. Guynemer or Guinemerz was a Boulognese pirate who played a role in the First Crusade. He assembled a fleet of Danes, Frisians and Flemings and set out from northern Europe for the eastern Mediterranean in Spring 1097. He sailed up to Tarsus where he found Baldwin of Boulogne besieging the place, then held by Tancred of Hauteville, a fellow Christian but rival of Balwin's for dominance in Cilicia. Excited to find a native of his own home town, he readily gave assistance to Baldwin, and after the town was taken he was given command of the garrison. However the anagrams of the following verse show that the action is not from the eleventh century but involves events in these same lands in modern times. C.VI Q.85 The great city of Tharse by the Gauls Will be destroyed, all of the Turban captives: Help by sea from the great one of Portugal, First day of summer Urban's consecration.

The death of the Prince is in the month of April when Taurus and Sun sink together beneath the horizon at sunset.This date setting is consisyent with that given in the text of the next verse.

The reference to frostiest waters also confers an affirmation of an April date. But there is also a sense that Nostradmus uses this verse to convey part of his poetic licence by which he uses varies letter to stress particular themes. The letters and sounds of war centre on the letters r and t which is consistent with scheme proposed in Agrippa' work. (See my Cornelius Agrippa paper for more detail on how this scheme is used. In the last verse of this series the text tell us how those involved in planning the murder of the prince are stripped of all they own including their honours and these properties are bestowed on the peoples who were their adversaries.  The anagrams once agin flesh out the image of this thread with places named that are consistent with the ideas in the text.In the process it becomes clear their legacy is one of harm to the air people breathe.
