Note 21 — PRÉFACE À MON FILS. THE PREFACE OF MICHAEL NOSTRADAMUS TO HIS PROPHECIES.
Reading edition
Cæsar Nostradamus was born at the beginning of 1555, so he was but a few weeks old when his father dedicated to him the first four “Centuries,” published for the first time in 1555, by Macé Bonhomme, the printer at Lyons. In the name of this son the epistle is really a dedication to his spiritual sons; that is, to his interpreters and students in all future ages.
