The first major literary presentation of Nostradamus's "Prophecies," newly translated and edited by prizewinning scholarsThe mysterious quatrains of the sixteenth-century French astrologer Nostradamus have long proved captivating for their predictions.

Today, as the world grapples with financial meltdowns, global terrorism, and environmental disasters as well as the Mayan prediction of the apocalypse on December 21, 2012 his prophecies of doom have assumed heightened relevance.How has "The Prophecies" outlasted most books from the Renaissance?
