Nostradamus C.6 Q.73: Oil deal between East and West based on Knights Hospitallier' practices. There is a distinctive pattern in the anagrams that readily ties in to Nostradamus' text and it takes us back to ancient trading practices. Such a reference to the past is only relevant if it fits to the future themes that are at the heart of Nostradamus' Prophecies. In his two epistles accompanying the prophecies the linking of the past to the future is a technique that Nostradamus frequently declared he used.   C.6 Q.73  In a great city a monk and artisan, Lodged near the gate and walls, Secret speaking emptily against Modena, Betrayed for acting under the guise of nuptials. En cite grand vn moyne et arti$an Pres de la porte loges et aux murailles Contre modene $ecret caue di$ant Trahis pour faire souz coleur d'e$po$ailles. Anagram Sequences in French Text.
