Nostradamus C.6 Q.96: Timescale for great war and Pandora's gifts. This verse at both the text and anagram level set the signs that can be seen at the time of the hideous calamity at the heart of Nostradamus' Prophecies. The nature of Nostradamus' quatrains yields much about its intent. It is of a well-defined scale insufficient to offer insight into a great number of events. There is no reasonable logic to his having chosen events in a far distant future other than that these events are far more significant than all those in between. But there is also no logic for a man of the sixteenth century to become involved  other than the recording of an inescapable set of events that the earth survives. This rationale is to be found in the anagrams which focus on a time scale, the atmospere and climate disasters. And the inclusion of the name Pandora in the anagrams illustrates this well since it is a perfect cipher for the release of manifold ills. To this the anagram for Hippocrates offers another dimension for these gifts for this name acts as a cipher for all things medical.   C.6 Q.96 Great city abandoned to the soldiers, Never was mortal tumult so close to it: Oh, what a hideous calamity draws near, Except one offense nothing will be spared it.  Grand cite a $oldatz abandonnee Onques n'y eu$t mortel tumult $i proche O quel hideuse calamite s'approche Fors vne offence n'y sera pardonnee.
