Nostradamus C.4 Q.43: The Isle of If becomes a military laboratory. This verse is included in the discussion of Nostradamus on War and has a direct link to C.01 Q.63 through anagrams for disseminule. It is an allusory quatrain referring back to ancient tales for its telling of the setting for modern war. There is an anagram for Lycaeus (and its alternate form Lyceus) which creates a set of specific allusions. Lycaeus (aka Lyceus) was a surname of certain divinities worshipped on mount Lycaeum in Arcadia, as for instance Zeus, who had a sanctuary on it, in which the festival of the Lycaea was celebrated. No one was allowed to enter the temple, and if any one forced his way in, he would have stay only to lose his shadow within a year. Other fates included being stoned to death by the Arcadians, called stags, and being obliged to take to flight to save their lives. The verse also has anagrams for Marseille and smaller beast which has connection to Nostradamus' youth when a rhinoceros was held captive on the Isle of If just off the coast from Marseille and viewed by  king Francis in 1515.  Inspired by the military potential of the island the king commissioned a fortress to be built which later became a prison. The prisoners held within its walls may well be the smaller beasts that lose their shadows. Stags may also fit to the hidden reference to a smaller beast with horns.   The anagrams suggest this fortress will be restored at some time in the future but it will be done so against the will of high-placed person who deem such a construction the work of the devil. The purpose of the fort is to protect and isolate the manufacture of organic materials used in war.   C.IV Q.43 Arms will be heard clashing in the sky That very same year the divine ones enemies They will want unjustly to debate the holy laws: Through lightning and war the believers put to death.
