Nostradamus, Bibliomancer | Free Book
The Man, The Myth, The Truth
Do you think Nostradamus, the famous 16th century "Prophet of
Provence," was some kind of magician, perhaps a doctor, astrologer,
and seer, too? If so, Peter Lemesurier's revelation that he was really
just an ordinary man using an equally ordinary technique may come as a
shock.
After re-examining the original sources, Lemesurier concludes that Nostradamus was in fact neither a doctor nor an astrologer, nor even (by his own admission) a prophet. He merely believed that history repeats itself, thus and projected known past events onto the future. To do so, he used the process of bibliomancy—randomly selecting extracts of randomly chosen books, then claiming "divine inspiration."
Unsurprisingly, he has almost never been proved right.
