Pastimes : Nostradamus: Predictions -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

In posts #13 & #14, I have given URLs for a discussion of the Julian and Gregorian calendars. Heavenly bodies move regardless of whether we have a calendar or not. But man has formulated calendars according to the movement of heavenly bodies, and calendars have been modified from time to time as man's knowledge of astronomy increases. The modification was done, in part, to keep our calendars in better synchronicity with movement of the planets and stars. What I was asking is simply this: are the dates mentioned in Nosty's quatrains Julian or Gregorian? This is important because what Nosty predicted to occur on, say, Julian 29th July 1999 should/will occur on our Gregorian 11th August 1999. (At the present time, to change a Julian date to a Gregorian one, all one has to do is add 13 to the Julian day of the month.) From the URL you posted, it would seem that Nosty's date for the disaster to begin is probably Julian 30/31 July 1999 (this corresponds to our Gregorian 12/13 August 1999). Nosty omitted to mention the 30/31!?!? Because there will be a total eclipse in early August 1999, it would seem that August and not July will be the month of the catastrophe. Regards, Richnorth
