Nostradamus C.6 Q.12 - Modern war
allusion to cannibalism in 1st Crusade
This verse has a strong blend of ancient and modern war
references. The anagrams imply a distinct period, that of the 1st Crusade.
It was at this time that Tancred was a leading Crusader, one linked to the
cannibalism of that campaign. The anagram of Laestrygonian alludes to an
even more ancient people known for their cannibalism. Such an allusion
implies that at a future date cannibalism in war will be quite notable
again.

This and the previous verse make sense when they
are considered as being about the way the printing process is used to
conceal Nostradamus' code. Their anagrams fit into the schemes documented by
Agrippa, the writer who in Nostradamus' life-time was one of the foremost
authorities on ancient coding techniques (see my paper on
Agrippa
for more).
