Literally a year later, in 1512, a new novel was published, continuing the storyline of the first. It was called "Primaleon" – " Primaleon ", after the name of the son of Palmerin.
In 1533, the next novel appears, written, obviously, by another author – "Platir" ( Platir ). The main character in it is already the son of Primaleon.
This endless series is continued in 1547-1548 by the Portuguese author Francisco de Moraes, who wrote the first and second parts of the chivalric novel Palmerino English. In it, the main character is the son of one of the heroes of Primaleon.
The continuation of "Platira" – "Flotir" ( Flotir ), the hands of Mambrino Foseo, appears in 1554.
It is known that Cervantes in the work "Don Quixote" spoke badly of the "Palmerina of Olives" and well of the "Palmerina of England".
So – even superficially it is clear that Nostradamus was also impressed by such novels and, probably, expected further sequels. And were they?
Yes, in 1582 the third and fourth parts of the English Palmerina were published, called "Duardos from Britain" ( Duardos de Bretana ), handwritten again by another author – the Portuguese Diogo Fernandez. And in 1598, "Clarisol from Britain" appears – this is the fifth and sixth part of "Palmerina English". They were written again by the Portuguese, but again by another – Baltasar Gonçalves Lobato. Another book with an unknown publication date can be attributed to the same cycle – “ Dom Durados II ", another Portuguese writer D. gonsalo Coutinho .
Apparently, there were several other novels from this cycle. They are mentioned in various sources.
These are the passions that took place in the literary world of sixteenth century Europe. Many years have passed since then, and here it is – the effect of time. Today, in the twenty-first century, few people are familiar with these works. Everything has gone almost to oblivion.
Almost, because thanks to the creation of Nostradamus – manifested in this book.
This is where my old discoveries end, and the description of the modern vision begins.
It's time to return to the "valorous character branch" – the "Palmerin branch". The fact that it is Palmerina that is being discussed in quatrain 3-14 is confirmed by the words " infime " from quatrain 1-32 and " Fran + Ce " (1-34 and 1-33). The connection with the unfortunate father is elusive. Most likely, it appears in a different place: " pe + re ", " in + felice ", " PALMERIN " …, and possibly " PLATIR ":
