Additional Details

The genuine 1568 Rigaud edition is the earliest extant to contain all 10 Centuries with the 942 known quatrains. At least 4 variants exist; this copy is Guinard's edition C, which he suggests might have been published after the others between 1568 and 1580 (see Corpus Nostradamus 38-40, http://cura.free.fr/mndamus.html).
