Summary: The complete and definitive Nostradamus.
Review: This is the first and only published work that presents the complete prophecies and scholarly translations. This volume houses the first comprehensive translation. It is printed with a word for word translation from the French with the English translation on the facing page. Dubious wording is explained in notes within the text. The most famous interpretations, and also the author's, are presented in a commentary section. Indexes are provided for every level of reader, from the casually curious to the elite historian and researcher, which are essential for comparing the quatrains with references to geographical ,proper names, and themes that may be the predictions Nostradamus correlated with astrological alignments. The biography of Nostradamus is also the most complete one existing in English. His last will and testament and his letter to King Henry of France provides the much needed definitive examination of this remarkable man. Finally, a very exciting inclusion, is the the treatment by the author, entitled Background and Rules of the Game, in which the author queries, how and why did Nostradamus do it? A great Work!

Summary: Amazing word find index and historical research !!
Review: This is the only book I've seen or heard of that has a word index, geographic area index, dated prophecy index, astrological allignments index and much more, allowing quickly finding quatrains with such references. This should immediately be republished, what an oversight with the mellinial interest and the famous 1999 quatrain, with many other possibly related quatrains. Edgar has some questionable interpretations, but for the most part, he has put together a researcher's dream here.I'm lucky the Library here has it.

Summary: Leoni was a true scholar.
Review: Unlike the current crop of Nostradamus 'experts' the work by Leoni is truly inspiring. He was a real Nostradamus Scholar.His bibliography within the book is an excellent source for learning about the various early editions of Nostradamus. The only person who has written upon this topic with more expertise recently is Sollog. Check out his name in any search engine and you'll see he is the biggest secret on the Net. Leoni and Sollog get my vote as the creme de la creme in the world of Nostradamus researchers and translators.
