Nostradamus’s popularity seems to be due in part to the fact that the vagueness of his writings and their lack of specific dates make it easy to selectively quote them after any major dramatic events and retrospectively claim them as true. he was invited to work with a leading scholar of the time, Jules-Cesar Scaliger in Agen, in southwestern France.
