Description: "Ian Wilson's book is an objective biographical study of just who Michel Nostradamus was as an historical individual. It is a look at a man who lived in constant danger of arrest for heresy, yet was so widely respected even in his own lifetime that Europe's royals had him casting their dynastic horoscopes, mining magnates consulted him on where to drill their next mineshafts, and cardinals sought him out as an acclaimed physician." "Nostradamus: The Evidence places a figure squarely back in his own real world, separates the myth from the reality, whilst also examining the huge psychology that lies behind the vast industry that for centuries has become devoted to interpreting his prophecies."--BOOK JACKET.
