In forty years, Irida will not appear,
Forty years from now, all days will be visible:
The earth parched with dryness will grow,
And big floods when seen.
It would seem that there is a correspondence with quatrain 1-15, but here everything is not so simple and unambiguous. The level of the task is completely different. « L ' Iris » Irida, a rainbow, appears in the Centuries further only in quatrain 6-44, in a slightly different form, which is a common thing for the times of the Author. " Lyris " that's what she is in it. All attempts to find at least some connection with the statements of quatrain 1-17 failed.
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.

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 ".

The following interesting quatrain that I want to consider will certainly be greatly appreciated by fans of fantasy. Closing your eyes, you can imagine how nine brave daredevils are flying in a space rocket to unknown planets.
1-81 D'humain troupeau neuf seront mis a` part,
De iugement & conseil separes: Leur sort sera divise' en depart, Kappa, Thita, Lambda mors, bannis esgares.
Of the human herd, nine will be separated,
From judgment and advice are separated:
Their fate will be different from the start
Kappa, Theta, Lambda are dead, banished, lost.
As a child, I, like, probably, all the boys of the Earth, dreamed of becoming an astronaut. Fate decreed otherwise for me, and today I walk on the ground with my feet, as Nostradamus walked.
This quatrain is about the nine neuf , which the Author separated, placed aside, in part . The number of " part " in the singular in seven centuries is exactly nine.
In addition, a little later, at the beginning of the second Centuria, such an interesting section was discovered, on which, in the most wonderful way and in full accordance with the methods of Nostradamus, PART, and humain , and neuf , and even tr + oup + eau ":
2-8 Reieteront les goffes fondements:
Prenant leurs loix premieres & humain es,
Chassant, non tout, des sainctz les cultements.
2-9 Neuf ans le regne le maigre en paix tiendra,
P uis il cherra en soif si sanguinaire:
Pour luy grand peuple sans foy & loy mourra ,
T ue' par un b eau c oup plus debonnaire.
2-10 A uant long temps le tout sera range'

Kappa, Theta, Lambda are the letters of the Greek alphabet, known for the fact that the letters in it also have numerical values. Kappa=20, Theta=9, Lambda=30. It would be too obvious and easily accessible if in this quatrain they carried precisely this meaning. Everything is very close, but somewhat different and more interesting. In the alphabet, as you know, all the letters are also in order. Serial number of Kappa=10, Theta=8, Lambda=11. This is the true meaning of the lines of this quatrain. Everything is very simple, why it remained unnoticed by anyone before it is not clear.
___________________________________________________________________________
Since I have already touched on the topic of the Greek alphabet, I will dwell on two more quatrains, close in spirit, but completely different in content.
1-42 Le dix Kalendes d'Auril de faict Gotique,
Resuscite' encor par gens malins: Le feu estainct, assemblee diabolique, Cherchant les or du d'Amant & Pselin.
Ten Kalends of April of the Gothic fact,
Resurrected again by evil nations:
The fire is extinguished, the assembly of the devil,
In search of the gold of Amant and Pselin.
Calends is an ancient Roman term for the first day of each month. April kalends are the first of April. The counting of other dates, for example, preceding the calendars, was carried out in the reverse order, i.e., for example, "ten days before the April calendars." Thus, it is very tempting to modify the phrase of the first line by adding the preposition "before", but it is not there.
"Gothic" or "Gothic"? From the point of view of modern vision, given the "diabolical assembly", etc., "Gothic" suggests itself. But, firstly, it would be correct " Got h ique "; secondly, probably, the modern meaning of the word "Gothic" had a slightly different meaning in the time of Nostradamus.
