was not born with this gift. Michel de Nostradamus was born in a Jewish
family on December 14, 1503 in the afternoon. His maternal grandfather,

entire trend of his education was changed. His father got him admitted to
Montpellier University to study medicine. Soon, Nostradamus was busy in
fighting the epidemic of plague that smote the country. He earned a good

nearly broke his heart. For eight long years, Nostradamus wandered through
France, Italy and Sicily. |
