Nostradamus C10 Q40: Nostradamus links to Marguerite d'Angouleme and the French and English royal lines.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015
This
verse is central to Nostradamus' quest. It deals with his efforts to get his
16th century patrons to accept that a new ape would displace humans.
The anagram for patron and the tone of the text give this
verse strong links to the previous quatrein
C10 Q39. It also has an anagram for
Leonardo who provides another link of possible patronage through ties to the
French king's domestic realm.
During his thirties Nostradamus lived in Agen
within walking distance of Nerac, the court of Queen Marguerite d'Anguleme. This
woman is known to have been the patron of both John Calvin and Leonardo da Vinci.
Jules Scaliger, one of Nostradamus' patrons was official
physician to Queen Marguerite and King Francis.
That Queen owed a great debt to a local pastel magnate, Jean Bernuy, since it was he who
gifted the money for her brother Francis ransom.
Additionally Anne Boleyn spent
time in the service of Marguerite while Annes daughter, Elizabeth wrote a
complete copy of Marguerite's most infamous works long before she also became a
queen.
In this verse the anagram for Londoner fits very
well with the text's reference to the British realm. There is another
anagram for quadrumane and this term means an ape-like creature with
effectively four hands.
Anagrams that help in giving meaning to this verse include:
1. June inebriate quin inquirant any ieuel inquinate
urea gene
2. Quadrumane enumerator repel errant commander
3. Leonardo olden Lyceum deploration d'orlean tornado pique
Londoner 4. Madmen named gender genes so son fills sonate genre
