Nostradamus C4 Q55: Laws of cremation invoked in Europe.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

This verse, in both text and anagrams, has tones that suggest it is about laws surrounding death and burial rites.

Anagrams that support this view include cremation ( aincte Mor), prestorage ( ort preſage) and statute ( ſtatue t).

In ancient times the shroud used for royalty was a linen cloth treated with an expensive dye that coloured the cloth a permanent shade of purple.

There is evidence that the last line of this verse alludes to this practice. This link to the ancient dye industry is based on the anagrams for Tyrriane purple ( uple pr -ier Tyran), rariety ( ier Tyra) and Etruria ( eurtri a) since the highly expensive tyrian murex (source of purple dye) was based in Etruria in ancient times.

And the lettering 'an meurtri aux die' is itself suggestive of anagrams for Tyrian murex dye.  Other anagrams impy this isue becomes relevant at the time that a great comet passes close to the earth.

Note: E. Cheetham shows 'sur tout' in first line while others show 'sur tour'.

Extra Info:

Purple was the color worn by Roman Emperors and magistrates, and later by Roman Catholic bishops. Since that time, purple has been commonly associated with royalty and piety.

As early as the 15th century BC the citizens of Sidon and Tyre, two cities on the coast of Ancient Phoenicia, (present day Lebanon), were producing purple dye from a sea snail called the spiny dye-murex.

The Roman custom of wearing purple togas may have come from the Etruscans; an Etruscan tomb painting from the 4th century BC shows a nobleman wearing a deep purple and embroidered toga. (Wikipedia entry on Purple)
