Index of the Centuries of M.Nostradamus

prepared by J.Flanagan

This index contains all the words used in the Centuries. The original was downloaded from K.Lowey's site, skynet, which has since closed. The format of the index is as follows:

Word            #Number;        Century,Verse . . .

"#Number" refers to the number of times that the word occurs. Words that differ slightly in spelling or accent are sometimes combined. The century and verse numbers are listed in order. However, references for the most common words have been omitted.

CAVEATS: Little or no editing has been done to the text. All spelling and orthographic mistakes and peculiarities have been retained. Please note the following:

Capitalization has been omitted; all entries are in lower case.
Letters u and v are interchangeable.
Letters i and j are interchangeable. (e.g., iour = jour)
The letter s is sometimes transcribed as f. (e.g., seront = feront)
The combination vv usually stands for w.
I have removed the following prefixes: l', d', s', t', and n'. These have been appended to the base word as follows: d'avoir -> avoir,d'. This procedure simplifies searching for specific words. The only exception is the prefix qu', which I left as is (e.g., qu'a).
Accents are not always consistently used. For this reason, I have combined some common words that differ only by an accent. These are marked with a slash (/) between the two forms in the first column of the index. The #Number total and the references are combined for both forms of the word.
The circonflex accent (^) is sometimes used to indicate the omission of an original consonant. However, this usage has evolved over time. For example, the modern word même is spelled mesme in 16c French.
Words that are produced by inflections of the same root are counted as separate words. Thus, singular and plural forms are counted separately, as are different verb forms.
Irregular and idiosyncratic spellings are common. If you can't find a word under a particular spelling, browse the list and you might find it close by.
