The true prophecies or prognostications of Michael Nostradamus, physician to Henry II. Francis II. and Charles IX. Kings of France, and one of the best astronomers that ever were. / A work full of curiosity and learning. Translated and commented by Theophilus de Garencieres, Doctor in Physick Colleg. Lond.

A collection of cryptic prophetic quatrains written in archaic French and organized with astrological references, presented alongside a near‑literal English translation and extensive commentary. The verses use compact metaphor, omen-like imagery, and historical allusion, often leaving meanings ambiguous and dates indeterminate; the translator’s preface and notes explain astrological terms, unpack obscure phrasings, and caution readers about multiple possible interpretations. The work functions as both a repository of terse forecasts and a study in how celestial symbolism and elliptical language shape uncertain predictions rather than deliver precise, timeable events.
