Nostradamus wrote his quatrains mainly in French, with some words borrowed from other languages. Unfortunately, given standard printing practices in the 16th century, no two versions of Nostradamus are identical, and the various translations that have appeared over the centuries only add to the confusion over what Nostradamus actually wrote.

There are also some bogus quatrains which have been falsely attributed to Nostradamus:

There are some online collections of Nostradamus's quatrains. Some are in English, some in French, and the number of quatrains varies from one list to the next. Here are a couple of links to the quatrains themselves (one in English, the other in both English and French), without the usual interpretations.
