Nostradamus C1 Q39: Emanuel's fate hangs over eastern Mediterranean ports. Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

This verse has a connection with the previous verse through the importance of pictures. In C1 Q38 there is an exposition of how Da Vinci's mathematical model for image perfection was applicable to verses of the future. In this verse the theme is continued but it empasises code systems that seem pictureless. It starts with the way that Celtic codes associate legends with stars and then mentions the Nordic story of Troy and Easter found in Snorri's Prose Edda.

Anagrams from which the keys to this verse will come include:

3. Simpler story portrays  parlance bourse proletary umpires brogue  employs

4. Morta [a Roman Fate] matter create Emanuel elequent pact

C1 Q39

At night the last one will be strangled in his bed
because he became too involved with the blond heir
The Empire is enslaved and three men substituted.
He is put to death with neither letter nor packet read

De nuict dans lict le ſupreſme eſtrangle
Pour trop auoir ſeiourne blond eſleu
Par troys l'empire ſubroge exancle
A mort mettra carte et pacquet ne leu.

Extra Info: The Emanuel prophecy - Isaiah 7:11-16

Isaiah delivers God's message to Ahaz and tells him to ask for a sign to confirm that this is a true prophesy (verse 7:11). Ahaz refuses, saying he will not test God (7:12). Isaiah replies that Ahaz will have a sign whether he asks for it or not, and the sign will be the birth of a child, and the child's mother will call it Immanuel, meaning "God-with-us" (7:13-14); by the time the infant "learns to reject the bad and choose the good" (i.e., is old enough to know right from wrong) he will be eating curds and honey, and Ephraim and Syria will be destroyed (7:15-16):
