Much later, the solution was nevertheless found, therefore, this episode of my book is inserted here artificially, without my personal chronological order, which I wrote about earlier, wanting to reflect here all the stages of my comprehension of the works of Nostradamus in real time. Wanting, and not worrying about my mistakes of the past, to lay out my thoughts and conjectures in full, in chronological order, knowing that the scales on which this work will eventually be placed will outweigh the cup of criticism against me.

So – my judgments from my own future.

The differences between quatrains 1-15 and 1-17, however, are significant. At 1-15 – 70 times, at 1-17 – 40 years. Moreover, a very specific goal appears in quatrain 1-17: to find Irida – a rainbow linked to forty years. Until I went all this long way to today's understanding of everything that happens in the Centuries, I could not comprehend the Author's intention, now I can.

In order to get to the desired section of the Centuries, in order to contemplate the secret radiance of the rainbow, it is only necessary to count forty "– ans -" that happened from the beginning of the Centuries. Moreover, as well as as separate words, and as part of others. True Scripture is the 1557 edition (Utrecht). Editions of 1555, based on my conclusions, are just some "reconnaissance before the battle."

This place is found in quatrain 2-13. It is in it, in the composition of the word " sans ", that the fortieth "– ans -" Centurius is concluded.

2-11 … S on aspre gloire vn chascun la craindra,

Mais ses enfantz du regne gettes hors.

2-12 Y eulx clos, ouuerts d'antique fantasie

L'habit des seulz seront mys a` neant,

Le grand monarque chastiera leur frenaisie:

R avir des temples le tresor par devant

2-13 L e corps s ans ame plus n'estre en sacrifice.

I our de la mort mys en native …

“ LYRIS ”, composed of the capital letters of the shown section of the Centuries, is revealed by means of the secret writing method conceived by Notre Dame a long time ago, one might say, at the time of his first literary experience, in a slightly different format, not so obvious, because in the “Prophecies” it is too light decisions are not to be expected.

And the game in counting years will be continued by the next quatrain of the first centurion.

1-48 Vingt ans du regne de la Lune passes,

Sept mil ans autre tiendra sa monarchie:

Quand le Soleil prendra ses iours lasses,

Lors accomplit & mine ma prophetie.

Twenty years of the reign of the moon have passed,

Seven thousand years another will hold his monarchy:

When the sun takes its tired days,

Then my prophecy will be completed and fulfilled.

From the vague and, obviously, very long lines of this quatrain, two amazing “coincidences” were revealed.

Twenty "– ans -": according to the 1557 edition, it turns out that it is the twentieth such combination of letters from the beginning of the first Centuria that falls on the first line of this quatrain. So the author is absolutely right.

Seven " mil ans ": the result of putting these two words together will give " milans ", the city of Milan in the plural. Exactly seven Milans are found in the first seven Centuries.

I will add that this word, perhaps intentionally, is played up by the Author later. In the ninth Centurion, in quatrain 95, the mysterious “ Milannoile ” appears, and in the eighth Centurion, in quatrain 13, the mysterious “fleet of a thousand years” appears – “ classe ' a ` mil ans ".
