Introduction to knowledge about Nostradamus. Дамир Хаматулин
the origin of this word from " pons " – bridge and " facio " – "one who makes (bridge)", explaining that initially the holders of this position were obliged to oversee the construction and repair of the Pile Bridge in Rome ( Pons Sublicius ), which was considered sacred. Yes, this is valuable information. We'll have to trace the interest of Nostradamus to bridges-pontiffs.
The first mention of the "bridge" appears already in the early quatrain 1-33.
1-31 Pres d'vn grand pont de plaine spatieuse…
Near the big bridge of the spacious valley…
Further, already in quatrain 1-37, the task for the seekers of secret tombs, and, it turns out, bridges, is visible.
1-37 … Pont & sepulchre en deux estranges lieux.
Bridge and tomb in two strange places.
Its solution is easy. The first quatrain with "tomb" and "bridge" (as part of the word " pont ife ") is in the third Centuria.
3-65 Quand le sepulchre du grand Romain trouue',
Le iour apres sera esleu pont ife…
When the tomb of the great Roman is found,
A day later, a pontiff will be elected…
The second quatrain with "bridge" and "tomb", however, in a different guise ( tombeau – grave, almost a synonym), is found in the seventh Centurion.
7-24 L'enseuely sortira du tombeau,
Fera de chaines lier le fort du pont …
The buried will come out of the grave,
Will tie the fort by the bridge with chains …
Further, in quatrain 2-3, " pont " as part of " Negre pont ".
2-3 …De Negre pont les poissons demis cuits…
…The fish are half cooked from Negrepont…
Then, in quatrain 2-21, Negrepont and chains.
2-21 …Cordes & chaines en Negre pont trousses.
… The ropes and chains in Negreponte are wound up.
Then the first "Pontifex" of Centuria appears (2-41), then the second (2-97). Then – the "bridge" from quatrain 3-56, it will be replaced by the "pontiff" already noted here from 3-65, which will again be replaced by another "bridge" in quatrain 3-81. Exactly one hundred quatrains the next “bridge” appears (4-81), and then another one (4-89).
Next – "pontiff" (5-15), then two "bridges" follow – 5-30, 5-31. The next “pontiff”, just from the considered quatrain 5-44, then the “bridge” (5-54), again the “pontiff” (5-56), which will be replaced by a new bridge (5-58).
This whole race will subside for a while, showing itself only as "pontiffs" from 6-49 and 6-82 and "bridges" from 7-21 and 7-24.
This thread has a good ending. The last "bridge" is the second in quatrain 7-24, in the form of the name of the Marquis.
7-24 …Grand de Lorraine par le Marquis du Pont .
… the Great of Lorraine by the Marquis du Pont.
As a result, according to the results of the first seven Centuries, eight "pontiffs" and "sixteen" bridges. Perhaps there are "bridges" – the doubled army of the Pontiff.
___________________________________________________________________________
There are several quatrains in the Centuries, which are connected by the Rhone River, or rather its length.
5-71 Par la fureur d'vn qui attendra l'eau,
Par la grand raige tout l'exercite esmeu:
Charge' des nobles a` dixsept bateulx,
Au long du Rosne tard messagier venu.
Because of the rage of one who will be afraid of water,
Because of the great fear of water, the whole army is excited:
The noble ones are loaded into seventeen boats,
Along the stretch of the Rhone, the messenger arrived late.
" Raige " – rabies, rabies, hydrophobia. An infectious disease in which there is a fear of water.
"The length of the Rhone" – an amazing idea of Nostradamus. It lies in the fact that in the "Prophecies" there is a global Rhone, the length of which is from the source (the first Rhone in the Centuries) to the mouth (the last Rhone), i.e. from 2-25 to 7-22. While we are talking about the first seven Centuries, of course.
In quatrain 2-96, the Author reveals this idea a little.
2-96 Flambeau ardent au ciel soir sera veu,
Pres de la fin & principe du Rosne…
A fiery torch in the sky in the evening will be visible,
Near the end and the beginning of the Rhone…
Well, then – it launches a certain object along the Rhone: "Spain".
4-3 Ceulx long du Rosne saigneront les Espaignes…
Those along the length of the Rhone will bleed to Spain …
For starters – where does hydrophobia? Water – " eau , eaue , eaux ", in the interval of the length of the Rhone is mentioned seventeen times.
Secondly, various "Spain", in the same interval, are also found seventeen times.
In confirmation of the fact that the gap “the length of the Rhone” is real, associated with the number seventeen, and is tied to the topic of rabies – rabies, I will give here one more quatrain.
6-59 Dame en fureur par raige d'adultere,
Viendra a` son prince coniurer non de dire:
Mais bref cogneu sera le vitupere,
Que seront mis dixsept a` martire.
The lady is furious because of the hydrophobia of adultery,
He will come to his prince, conjuring not to speak:
But soon they will know, it will be a shame,
So seventeen will be put to torture.
Again rabies, seventeen, and the “lady”, probably infected by the prince, because according to the results of the first seven Centuries, she will enter the rank equal to seventeen .
For quite a long time I did not interfere with my past records, trying to preserve the atmosphere of that past, but – I could not resist now, I want to add a little. I will not talk about a dim lamp and darkness. All this, of course, is present. Only fragments of the truth are seen. Even now I am not sure that I will collect the whole picture. Simply, today I was interested in quatrain 2-96 with its phrase.
2-96 Flambeau ardent au ciel soir sera veu ,
Press de la fin & principal du Rosne …
A fiery torch in the sky in the evening will be visible,
Near the end and the beginning Rhone …
Now, already knowing that there is absolutely nothing accidental in the "Prophecies", it is simply necessary
