Nostradamus

of Prophecies, in four-line stanzas, extending over seven
centuries. (1503-1566.)
The Nostradamus of Portugal.
Goncalo Annes Bandarra, a poet-cobbler, whose lucubrations were
stopped by the Inquisition. (Died 1556.)
As good a prophet as Nostradamus
-i.e. so obscure that none can make out your meaning. Nostradamus was a
provincial astrologer of the sixteenth century, who has left a number
of prophecies in verse, but what they mean no one has yet been able to
discover (French proverb.)
