Nostradamus C8 Q26: Life events of two of Nostradamus 16thC patrons.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015
I believe this verse is included to indicate
the calibre of the
people who supported Nostradamus' quest.
Nostradamus' major patron appears
to have been Jean de Bernuy, pastel dye grower and exporter of Toulouse.
The story of this man is given in greater detail in my paper on
Nostradamus Sect. His last name is found amongst the anagrams in
the fourth line of this verse
while the story in the text and the
anagrams can be interpreted in a consistent way. It appears to be the tale
of a smuggling route for pastel dye between Toulouse and Barcelona.
Such
an operation was necessary throughout much of Bernuy's life. The third
line behaves in a familar way for it has a lovely crypticism built into
it-
The great one who holds, but does not hold is a good metaphor
for the dye trade which was in perpetual competition to improve the
fastness of colour. These trails can be seen in anagrams such as
dyes,
surety, irresolute (for the process) and Caderonne, subterraneous route
(for a secret passage through the tunnels along the French-Spanish border
route from mid France to Barcelona).
There is however another tale of the sixteenth century to be found in the
anagrams and it is about a map-maker from England who is deeply involved
in the revolution of the difficult art of creating a too-scale world map
that was correct for all regions from the equator to the poles. I believe
that
the relevance of this story is that he was the person who succeeded
Bernuy as patron of Nostradamus.
Anagrams that help in giving meaning to this verse include:
1. Ancestor sell on Caderonne subterraneous routes
2. My codes involuted dyes worse evils irresolute men ruin surety
3. Englander quit intent Greenland enlarged on World polar-map
4. Bernuy parable often barter demon badge
Par
