Nostradamus (but on-topic)...

[Nick Pelling <incoming@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

The idea that Nostradamus wrote the VMS (suggested on-list by John Grove in 
1999) is not ~completely~ preposterous. Born 1503, brought up in Provence, 
learnt astrology from his grandfather, went to Montpellier University at 16 
to learn medicine, later wrote herbals, recipes, etc... perhaps he wrote 
the VMS as a student, who knows?

My question of the day: do any fragments of Nostradamus' herbals from 1552 
still survive, or is the 1572 German translation the only thing remaining? 
It would be interesting to know what it originally looked like... :-)

Your prophetically :-), ....Nick Pelling....
