Don't be concerned about it. A lot of Nostradamus's writing, besides being
ambiguous in the extreme, has been the subjected to some exccedingly "helpful"
translations into other languages (with, of course, the benefit of 20/20
hindsight). Then it get passed on orally with the attendant alterations
and clarifications. Good entertainment value, but that's all.
