Introduction to knowledge about Nostradamus - страница 22
After – death, robbery, good advice was late.
I have read many books about the "Prophecies" by various authors. Thank you very much to the authors for the fact that I learned something useful, but for the unhelpful, too. What was striking in this case: everywhere the word " palmerin " is associated with "palm trees". This is literally everything that I found, word for word, as in the "prophet" Cervantes, as discussed below.
The life of writers and readers was in fact already in full swing during the time of Nostradamus. The Renaissance is a glorious term that contains a lot. Speaking in modern terms, it is a time of complete "movement" and "startups", but, what is extremely important, created on the basis of a noble and respected past.
At the beginning of the sixteenth century, in 1511, the Spanish chivalric novel Palmerin of Olives was published – ( Palmerin de Oliva ). Authorship is attributed to Francisco Vasquez, a resident of Ciudad – Rodrigo, but this is not a fact. From that moment, a rather significant procession of this novel across Europe began.
It was reprinted dozens of times, was translated into several languages, and many fans, or rather, admirers of this genre, read it excitedly.
The protagonist of this novel is the grandson of the Macedonian king, the son of the daughter of the Emperor of Constantinople, (not knowing about it), – Palmerin – the noblest knight, wandering the seas and lands, conquering everyone and everything, winning the hearts of the ladies of that time.
Literally a year later, in 1512, a new novel was published, continuing the storyline of the first. It was called "Primaleon" – " Primaleon ", after the name of the son of Palmerin.
In 1533, the next novel appears, written, obviously, by another author – "Platir" ( Platir ). The main character in it is already the son of Primaleon.
This endless series is continued in 1547-1548 by the Portuguese author Francisco de Moraes, who wrote the first and second parts of the chivalric novel Palmerino English. In it, the main character is the son of one of the heroes of Primaleon.
The continuation of "Platira" – "Flotir" ( Flotir ), the hands of Mambrino Foseo, appears in 1554.
It is known that Cervantes in the work "Don Quixote" spoke badly of the "Palmerina of Olives" and well of the "Palmerina of England".
So – even superficially it is clear that Nostradamus was also impressed by such novels and, probably, expected further sequels. And were they?
Yes, in 1582 the third and fourth parts of the English Palmerina were published, called "Duardos from Britain" ( Duardos de Bretana ), handwritten again by another author – the Portuguese Diogo Fernandez. And in 1598, "Clarisol from Britain" appears – this is the fifth and sixth part of "Palmerina English". They were written again by the Portuguese, but again by another – Baltasar Gonçalves Lobato. Another book with an unknown publication date can be attributed to the same cycle – “ Dom Durados II ", another Portuguese writer D. gonsalo Coutinho .
Apparently, there were several other novels from this cycle. They are mentioned in various sources.
These are the passions that took place in the literary world of sixteenth century Europe. Many years have passed since then, and here it is – the effect of time. Today, in the twenty-first century, few people are familiar with these works. Everything has gone almost to oblivion.
