Book Description
Recently discovered paintings by Nostradamus that provide the
key to decoding his prophecies. * Reveals a never-before
published Nostradamus manuscript found in the * archives of the
Italian National Library in Rome. * Examines eighty symbolic
portraits that confirm the hidden * chronology of Nostradamus's
quatrains * Shows how Nostradamus correctly predicted key
historical events, and * unveils more world-shattering prophecies
for the twenty-first * century. In 1994 members of the Italian
National Library in Rome made an amazing discovery: buried in
their archives was an unknown manuscript consisting of eighty
mysterious paintings by the famed prophet Michele Nostradamus
(1503--1566). This manuscript, handed down to the prophet's son
and later donated by him to Pope Urban VIII, confirms the hidden
chronology of Nostradamus's quatrains discovered by the

Book Review: 'The Nostradamus Code' by Ottavio Cesare Ramotti,
translated by Tami Calliope (Destiny Books, 1998: ISBN 0-89281-666-X)
- I love the ISBN! ;)
Well folks, I've got the book at last! Or rather the Italian
translation of it. Actually, it might have been marginally easier to
understand had they left it in Italian, since I find the translation
almost impenetrable. (If only people would stop kidding themselves
that their command of foreign languages is so good that they can
actually translate into them!)
So what does it say? Well, Ramotti has already written at least one
other book on Nostradamus ('Le Chiavi de Nostradamus' - The Keys of
Nostradamus), as yet unpublished in English. He seems to be some kind
of computer whizz-kid and cryptology freak who used to work with the
Italian police. His former book used cryptology to place the quatrains
in order and then 'decode' them.
First of all, he places the quatrains in cumulative order on a series
of graphs corresponding to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd integer of the
resulting verse-numbers, then draws on the graphs (apparently
arbitrarily) the letter 'N' (for 'Nostradamus', of course!!), and
finally deduces from the result the correct sequence of verses.
With me so far? No? OK, well, that's not too surprising...
Next, he takes the famous Turin inscription (Encyclopedia, p.31) that
reads:
1566
NOSTRADAMUS A LOGE ICI
OU IL HA LE PARADI,
LENFER LE PURGATOIRE
JE MAPELLE LA VICTOIRE.
QUI M'HONORE AURA LA GLOIRE.
QUI ME MEPRISE AURA LA RUINE ENTIERE.
(shades of Rennes-le Château!)
Taking this as some kind of Cabbalistic text that warns specifically
against anagrammatisation, he now takes the '1566' (or, in the earlier
verses, '1555') to be an indication that, 'Bible-Code'-like, you have
to count first one letter along, then five, then six, then six again,
and so on...
With me still? No? Well, don't worry...
So he does. And - would you credit it, folks?! - it turns out (once
you have shuffled it a bit) to be IN ITALIAN!! (I mean - what else?!!)
And what is more, it turns out to back up Ramotti's previous decoding
to the hilt.
Surprise! Surprise!
But that's not the half of it. Ramotti now presents samples from a
series of 80 or so strangely modern-looking paintings (some of them in
colour) corresponding to the celebrated list of popes by the Irish
bishop St Malachy (whom the text, true to form, calls 'Saint
Malachia'), and claims that they were done by ... you've guessed it...
none other than our old friend Nostradamus (to whom, equally true to
form, it gives the Christian name 'Michele', as well as a natal
geography which, thanks largely to the translation, bears little
relation to reality!).
Now, Nostradamus is not known to have been a painter, even though his
son César was. Moreover, the figures in the paintings - or rather
emblems - are all in medieval, not 16th century dress. Indeed, Ramotti
himself admits that the originals were by one 'Anito Efesio',
re-copied in 1343. His whole thesis that these are Nostradamus's
re-workings is based on one of a number of attached notes which he
himself points out can't have been written earlier than 1689, and
which reads: 'Vaticinia Michaelis Nostradami De Futuri Christi Vicarii
Ad Cesarem Filium. D.I.A.Interprete' (bad Latin for: 'Prophecies of
Michel Nostradamus Concerning the Future Vicars of Christ To His Son
Cesar. Abbot D(ominus) I(oachim) being the Interpreter')
So a later, obscure cleric had a particular bee in his bonnet! So
what?
Well, I could go on. I could tell you about Nostradamus's mother - who
was apparently called Renata - and her celebrated esotericist
grandather. I could tell you about the visit of Pope Carlo IX to
Michele Nostradamus in St Rémy (he means, of course, King Charles IX).
I could tell you about the quatrains which are badly translated into
English from the only slightly better Italian. I could...
But hell, why bother?
Personally, I think he's having us on!
