Back in 1997-98, I had challenged APN regulars to identify a
peculiarity in one of Nostradamus' texts. As I had expected one
of the French-speaking contributors to find it, it was to my
great surprize that a (non-French-speaking) Dutchman found it.

This re-post is about my reaction to his finding.

ZAPHOD: [bandwidth saving in progress...]
Oh by the way: the phrase you quote
'pour d'yci a l'an 3 7 9 7'
is reproduced In Peter L's book from the 1555 edition as
'pour d'yci a l'annee 3797'
CLAUDE: I have not yet seen Peter's confirmation or correction
that it is indeed the text as it appears in whatever book of his
John is referring to (giving references never hurts, John...
except Cactus, who does not like us to do good, clean, research).

ZAPHOD: Hi,
I think Claude is pointing to the fact that 'pour d'yci', though
maybe grammatically correct, looks at least somewhat strange.
As you can see, it is written 'pour d'icy' in the 1568 edition.
The 'y' and 'i' were exchanged. The last version looks, IMHO,
more natural. This could be a clue as to change the numbers
also (anagram). When you look at 3 7 9 7. and you think also
about what recently has been said about Nostradamus' use of the
Julian Period (4713 BC - 3268 AD = 7890 years), then you can't
fail to notice something...
IMHO, this is not the only code this number reveals though...
Best Wishes,
Zaphod
CLAUDE: Congratulations, Zaphod, you went all the way from
batting to third base. There is still, however, that business of
reaching the home plate, i.e., what happens next.
Let's recapitulate. In his Letter to Caesar, Nostradamus speaks
of the time-span covering his prophecy. He writes that it does
cover the period...
pour d'yci a l'an 3 7 9 7
Some years ago, before the anagrams, I realized that our modern
word "ici", meaning 'here' cannot be inverted, but that the
ancient French word meaning 'here' can be inverted. It is
spelled "icy", but Nostradamus writes it "yci". He inverts it.
The next logical step was to invert the number 3 7 9 7, as
Nostradamus does not say "l'an (or l'année) trois mil sept cens
nonante sept" which he could have done, had he wanted to tell us
what everyone who expressed an opinion about it in this Newsgroup
(except Zaphod and myself) says he is telling us.
If you invert that number you get an even greater number (le
"reuolu du grand nombre septiesme", as a matter of fact), i.e.,
7 9 7 3.
Later, having found the many anagrams indicating that
Nostradamus' prophecy ends with the destruction of Paris and its
immediate aftermath, i.e., August 2017, it became more and more
apparent that the number 3 7 9 7 or the inverted one 7 9 7 3 did
not truly reflect the year of the end of the prophecy, as it
contradicted the anagrams.
The funny thing about the solution to that enigma is that I had
almost forgotten about it when my computer gave me the solution
without being asked to! How come? I was asking it for the
astrological chart of the destruction of Paris. And on that
chart, the Julian Day Number (JD#) appears automatically.
Back to the Julian Period. In the Letter to Henry, Nostradamus
gives us the date of the beginning of his prophecy, March 14,
1557, a Full Moon. But he also tells us about the end of it,
albeit in a rather obscure form:
[s] meaning an ancient 's'
[n] meaning the replacement of the letter by an abbreviation mark
... accomençant
depuis le temps pre[s]ent , qui e[s]t le 14. de Mars,
1557.& pa[ss]ant outre bien loing iu[s]ques à l'adue-
nement qui [s]era apres au commencement du
[s]eptie[s]me millenaire profondement [s]upputé,ta[n]t
que mon calcul a[s]tronomique & autre [s]cauoir
s'a peu e[s]te[n]dre ...
August 7, 2017, is the eclipsed Full Moon immediately preceding
the destruction of Paris. In the anagrams, Nostradamus uses that
eclipse as the ultimate warning to Paris, before its destruction.
And, you guessed it, the JD# of August 7, 2017 is... 7973.
The destruction of Paris occurs during the Moon cycle starting
with that Full Moon. A Sun cycle is called a Year. It seems that
Nostradamus decided to call a Moon cycle a Year also, since he
wrote:
pour d'yci a l'an 3 7 9 7
Translation: "for ereh to year 3 7 9 7".
Had Nostradamus written that in English, Peter might have noticed
immediately the inverted word 'here' and might, just might, have
suspected that the number also needed to be inverted.
But then again, I am not sure about that... after all, Peter now
does refer to the anagrams as "ingenious nonsense".
In this story, the only genius is... Nostradamus.
