He Made An Almanac Of His Own
We are glad that Nostradamus took the time to write those visions down. He relied on them when he made his almanac. The writings were the talk of the town in the middle of the 16th century. They were full of folk wisdom and visions for the following year. People ate it all up when he entered the scene.
For The Next Two Millennia
For a couple of years, he sold those almanacs. He decided that it was time to be more ambitious. This is why he wrote a ten-volume epic with a hundred predictions each. They covered the next two millennia! By 1555, he made Les Prophéties or The Prophecies, which had all of his predictions for the future.
