This July 2 will mark the 450th anniversary of the death of Nostradamus (1503-1566), the French apothecary and supposed seer of Jewish origin. Born Michel de Nostredame in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, his most famous work was "The Prophecies," a collection of four-line texts that purported to tell the future.
