En l'an cinq cens octante plus & moins,
On attendra le siecle bien estrange:
En l'an sept cens,& trois cieux en tesmoings.
Que plusieurs regnes vn à cinq feront change.
Translation (Van Berkel, 2002)
In the year five hundred and eighty more or less
One will await a very strange century.
In the year seven hundred and three, heavens witness
That several kingdoms will change from one into five.
Van
Berkel categorizes this quatrain as a year
quatrain.
The
smallest year, mentioned in the quatrains, is the year 580 in this
quatrain. The highest year is the year 1999 in quatrain
10-72. These
years are, regarding the figure, smaller than 2242, the number of years
of the time span of the quatrains. This led to the "reference
number system".
The idea behind this system is that the years,
mentioned in the quatrains, are not years, but reference numbers in the
series of years between 1555 and 3797, the time span of the quatrains.
A
number of investigators writes that in quatrain 06-02
not the year 580 is meant, but the year 1580. The first one who did so was
De Chavigny, the secretary of Nostradamus, who published the Présages and
annotated a number of quatrains.[1]
The words cinq cens octante are, according to a number of
investigators, an abbreviation of mil cenq cens octancte.[2]
Other investigators suppose that Nostradamus, whether or not
deliberately, forgot the word mil.
Al these investigators cannot explain, however, why the word mil
is used in all the other year quatrains.
The
fulfilment year of the first two lines is, according to the reference
number system, 2135 (1555 + 580). These lines refer to a century, which
means that the time span, covered by these lines, runs from 2135 until
2235.
The
fulfilment year of the last two lines is 2258 (1555 + 1703).
The
interesting thing about this quatrain is that it contains two predictions,
each of them with its own fulfilment year.
Comment
by Brind'Amour
Brind'Amour
supposes that the first two lines deal with 1580 AD. He writes that in the
time in which the Prophecies
were written, the indication mil (thousand) more than once was omitted.[3]
Comment
by Halbronn
Halbronn writes that the first two lines probably are an allusion to the period
around 1583, mentioned in the "Regiomontanus prophecy". According to this prediction, around 1583
a
Jupiter-Saturn conjunction would occur in Aries. This
conjunction would not only be the beginning of a series of Jupiter-Saturn
conjunctions in the fire element in 200 years, it would also be a
"very great conjunction" (conjunctio maxima), since it would
occur in Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac.
The last two lines of
quatrain 06-02 might point to 1702. Halbronn connects this year with
the period of
177 years, 3 months and 11 days, mentioned in the Letter to Cesar. This
period is half a period of 354 years and 4 months
in the Trithemian cycle. According to Halbronn, who bases himself upon a remark by
Laurens Videl in Declaration
d'abus..., in the Trithemian cycle, in
1525, a period of 354 years and 4 months began, ruled by the Moon.
Adding 177 years, 3 months and 11 days results in 1702.[4]
Halbronn supposes that quatrain
01-16 and quatrain 01-51
also contain allusions to the "Regiomontanus prophecy".

Translation
(Wöllner, 1926)
Im Jahre 1580 ungefähr
erwartet man den sehr selsamen Zeitlauf.
Desgleichen im Jahre 1703. Die Himmel sind Zeugen,
dass mehrere Reiche (eins
zu fünf) verändert werden. Wöllner
thinks that 1580 and 1703 are the fulfilment years. Regarding 1703, he
refers to the Spanish Succession War, which took place between 1703 and
1713.[5]
According to the
Encyclopedia Britannica, this war began in 1701. In 1703, France got
involved. In april 1713, the Treaty of Utrecht was signed.
