L' vrne menasse encor Ceucalion,

V exee S ardaigne par la Punique Fuste…

The author claims that he predicted the "sky" through clear signs and stars … He did not lie, everything is so. The words " in + signe " and " cl + air " together with the sky – " ciel ":

1-54 …Le mobil signe a son endroict si in gere,

Aux deux egaux & d'inclination.

1-55 Soubz l'opposite cl imat Babylonique,

Grande ser a de sang effusion:

Que terre & mer, air , ciel sera inique…

And below is the connection of the "sky" with the "star" – " estoile ":

2-43 Durant l' estoile chevelue apparente,

Les trois grans princes seront fait ennemis:

Frappes du ciel , paix terre tremulente…

In quatrain 7-36 – the last sky of the first cycle of the "Prophecies". This is the age – " aage " – "heaven":

7-35 D' auoir _ esleu , trompes seront en l' aage :

_ Guyere auec eulx ne vouldra demourer ,

Deceu sera par ceulx de son language .

-36 Dieu le ciel tout le diuin verbe a` l'vnde…

And everything that happens is “not good” – “ bien ”:

1-46 … Grand feu du ciel en trois nuictz tumbera:

Cause aduiendra bien stupende & mirande,

Bien peu apres la terre tremblera.

" neither To trouble " – "malefice":

1-22 La gresle & glace fera grand malefice .

1-23 Au mois troisiesme se leuant le Soleil,

Sanglier, Liepard, au champ Mars pour combatre:

Liepard laisse, au ciel extend son oeil,

Vn Aigle autour du Soleil voit s'esbatre.

In the last quatrain given here – the first case of the Centurian sky. It also contains an “eagle” – “ Aigle ”, this is the second answer to the question: “why is the sky the city of Plankus?”

___________________________________________________________________________

It 's time to go back to my previous entries. I liked then quatrains with numerals.

In quatrain 3-48, the Author sets two tasks at once.

3-48 Sept cens captifz estaches rudiment,

Pour la moitie meurtrir, donne' le sort: Le proche espoir viendra si promptement, Mais non si tost qu'vne quinziesme mort.

Seven hundred prisoners, bound roughly,

Fate gave half to die:

Close hope arrives so quickly

But not so soon as the fifteenth death.

Seven hundred – « sept cens " – Nostradamus tied together and reported it openly. The condition when both of these words are in one quatrain is fulfilled six times in the first cycle of the "Prophecies" (1-49, 3-48, 3-56, 3-77, 6-2 and 6-54), and in all cases they stand together, i.e. “bound”, and in quatrain 3-56 their future fate is revealed, i.e. the number – "six" – " six " – such pairs.

3-56 …Depuis six cens & sept XXIII.pars.

And it is in this quatrain that half of such pairs are recruited, i.e. three, as indicated in 3-48.

The third and fourth lines pose a different problem. The word " espoir " – "hope" – first appears in the Centuries in quatrain 2-25, the fifteenth "death" – " mort ( e )", in the singular ( vne Quinziesme mort ) are also found in this quatrain.

In part, the quatrain already considered here also contains its task. All in the same fourth line:

-56 … Depuis six cens & sept XXIII.pars .

From this point, until the end of the seventh century, several words " part , par ( t ) s " are found: in 3-59, 3-99 ( deux parts ), 4-35, 4-80 ( quinze pars and part ), 5-11, 6-13 and 6-95. Given that " deux parts " and " quinze pars " means "two parts" and "fifteen parts" respectively, making 23 parts.

The competitive struggle that develops in the Nostradamus universe called "Prophecies" is clearly manifested in quatrain 3-59, which describes the duel between blood and death.
