Linkage with other quatrains: 2.99.
The 3 line. Milan had ancient defensive fortifications. Napoleon I, of course, used artillery during the assault.
Decoding of the number 3.37. If 7 to consider as 700, then 700-33=667. 6 flip in 9, 1 and 7 are put at the ahead we will get 1796 – the year of capture.
Quatrain 2.99 Italy troubled by Gauls
Terroir Romain qu'interpretoit augure,
Par gent Gauloise par trop sera vexee
Mais nation Celtique craindra l'heure,
Boreas, classe trop loing l'auoir poussee.
Roman land as the omen interpreted
Will be vexed too much by the Gallic people:
But the Celtic nation will fear the hour,
The fleet has been pushed too far by the north wind.
The 1-2 lines. In 1796-1797 there was the Italian campaign of Napoleon I. Perhaps Nostradamus predicted it. Napoleon acted very successfully in the north of Italy.
The 4 line. Boreas is the north wind, thanks to which the French fleet ferried a huge army to Egypt in 1798. There the French won victories until the British under Nelson's command destroyed nearly all of their ships. The French army was very far from the homeland in a desperate situation.
Linkage with other quatrains: 8.92, 3.37.
Decoding of the number 2.99. If 9 to consider as 9000, then 9000-29=8971; by swapping these numbers we will get 1798-1=1797 – the year of ended Italyan campaign.
Quatrain 1.24 1799 year
A Cite neufue pensif pour condamner,
L'oysel de proye au ciel, se vient offrir
Apres victoire a captifs pardonner,
Cremone & Mantoue grand maux aura a (souffrir.
In a New City the thinker (will) condemned,
the bird of prey offers himself to the gods.
After victory he pardons his captives.
At Cremona and Mantua great hardships will be suffered.
Of all the executed scientists, Domenico Cirillo is suitable for this quatrain. He was a professor of botany and medicine at the University of Naples. As an entomologist, he studied the biology of insects in the vicinity of Naples. He did not get much fame, so the question arises: did Nostradamus predict his in this prophecy?
In 1799, Cirillo was convicted and executed in Naples for political reasons. The name of this city is translated from Ancient Greek as a new city, which corresponds to the first line of the quatrain.
The 3 and 4 lines, possibly, refer to the war of the 2nd coalition, during which extensive military operations were carried out on the territory of Italy. In many ways thanks to the talent of Ushakov and Suvorov almost all of Italy was liberated from the French. Suvorov was loyal to the prisoners. After the capture of Milan he organized a celebration, to which were invited and captured French officers. Then he forgave them and let them go. On 28.06.1799 Mantua was taken. Perhaps Cremona was in the war zone. After the departure of the Russian troops, Napoleon again seized Italy.
Linkage with other quatrains: 5.20.
Decoding of the number 1.24. 1000-24=976. If 6 flip in 9, 1 and 7 are put at the ahead then we will get 1799 – the year, when Cirillo was convicted and Mantua was captured.
Quatrain 8.9 War of 2nd coalition?
Pendant que l'Aigle & le Coq a Sauone
Seront vnis, Mer, Leuant & Ongrie.
L'armee a Naples, Palerme, Marque d'Ancone
Rome, Venise par Barbe horrible crie.
While the Eagle and the Cock will be at Savonna,
The Sea, Levant and Hungary will united.
The army at Naples, Palermo, March of Ancona,
Rome, Venice through Barbe a terrible screams.
All listed cities are located in Italy. The Eagle and the Cock it is Austria and France, which at the 17 century fought for the possession of northern Italy. Rome and Ancona belonged to the Papal states, which Bonaparte seized and exiled Pope in Savonna.
2 line. The French called Syria, Turkey, some countries of North Africa as Levant, i.e. Ottoman Empire. Perhaps this refers to the unification of the Ottoman and Russian fleets during the war of 2nd coalition. True, Hungary does not fit into this context.
In 1799 the Napoleonic army captured Naples, and his king fled to Palermo in the ship of Nelson. Ushakov freed Naples from the French, but not for long – a year later Napoleon again captured Italy.
Barbe is the patroness of artillery, miners, etc. The Napoleonic army was especially strong with its artillery. The last line probably predicted military operations between the French army and the Russian-Austrian army under the command of Suvorov in 1799.
Possible decoding of the number 8.9. If 8 to concider as 8000, then 8000-9=7991. Moving 1 forward, we get the year 1799.
Quatrain 8.99 Pope Pius VI
Par la puissance des trois Roys temporels,
En autre lieu sera mis le saint siege:
Ou la substance de l'esprit corporel,
Sera remis & receu pour vray siege.
