NOSTRADAMUS - HORAPOLLO Some scholars believe that Michel Nostradamus wrote an interpretation of the Hieroglyphics book, dealing with the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphcs, and attributed to Horapollo. This supposed work has recently been published, with a commentary by Pierre Rollet, Nostradamus Interpretation des Hierogyphes de Horapollo, 1993. Whether or not the text, Livre de Orus Apollo Niliacque de Aegipte (of which a copy is in the Bibliotheque Nationale, in Paris) was really written by Nostradamus, there is no doubt that he would have been deeply interested in the images (purporting to deal with the meanings of the Egyptian hieroglyphics). An example of such an illustration, reproduced in black and white by Rollet, is this image of a winged serpent.
