Nostradamus's prophecies were based on his fundamental belief that if we could only see into the future, we would wish to change it for the better. Now, for the first time, a Nostradamus commentator isolates the prophecies that suggest the possibility of positive change. Adhering rigorously to Nostradamus's own index dates, Reading's innovative new versions of the quatrains combine literal translation with the technique of "euphonic translation", which takes into account the codes, hidden meanings and wordplay concealed within the medieval texts. 304 pp.
