Do original copies of the prophecies still exist, and if so where?
A. Yes. Even the long-lost original 1555 edition was rediscovered and published in facsimile by Michel Chomarat of Lyon in 1984. Many of the world’s major libraries hold original copies of early editions of his works (i.e. 1605 and earlier) — including the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lambeth Palace in London and the Vatican in Rome. Details may be found in the ‘Bibliographie Nostradamus’ and the ‘Nostradamus Encyclopedia’ (see below). The bulk of his predictions, however, are contained in a vast manuscript by his secretary, which has recently been restored in Paris and researched and reprinted in part by Bernard Chevignard, Professor of Languages and Communications at the University of Bourgogne, in his ‘Prsages de Nostradamus’ (Editions du Seuil, 1999), which contains many actual facsimiles.
