by Charles a. Ward (Author)
Charles A. Ward's Oracles of Nostradamus is a substantial study of the life, prophecies, and enduring reputation of Michel de Nostredame, better known as Nostradamus. Combining biography, historical commentary, translation, interpretation, and occult speculation, Ward examines the prophetic quatrains that made Nostradamus one of the most famous and controversial figures in Western esoteric literature. The book treats Nostradamus as both a historical personality and a prophetic writer whose obscure verses have invited centuries of interpretation.
Ward's study belongs to the long tradition of English-language works attempting to explain, arrange, and interpret Nostradamus for modern readers. It includes discussion of the seer's background, the structure of the Centuries, the difficulties of prophetic language, and the historical events later readers associated with his predictions. For readers interested in Nostradamus, prophecy, divination, occult history, Renaissance astrology, esoteric literature, and historical interpretations of the supernatural, Oracles of Nostradamus remains a serious and fascinating period study.
