Nostradamus C1 Q06: The impact of Nostradamus Italian travels on his ability to access future visions.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

Several of Nostradamus' early quatrains deal with the 16th century distillation and preparation of chemicals.

In this verse he indicates that it displeases him when pasquinades (satirical leaflets) deriding him and his methods are chanted by the courtesans of France.

However his primary interest is the constituents of folious plants and the variant genes or alleles found in different breeds. Part of his annoyance is that the plants he seeks are often stripped of their leaves by more ignorant users.

This perception by Nostradamus most likely reflects the influence of his Italian travels when he has developing the master copy of his prophcies. That influence realtlated to his means of inducing visions of the future.
