This is a short essay on Nostradamus. The opinion of the Author is that Nostradamus did not have more prophetic talent than the Sybil and used a similar procedure to get his vaticinations. However, the Sybil was respected for centuries, and Nostradamus too. A practical way to make similar prophecies is offered (as a demonstration only) in a different post:”Nostradamus- Primi tre libri” in this same page. It only needs that the reader knows how to use Small Basic, at a basic level. An Italian translation of the text will follow.
