And in the beginning we will talk about one linguistic incident of the times of the Author. In order for everything to become clear, it is necessary to pay attention to the word "Britain".
In Old English, it could be written as " Breoton "," Bryten "– from lat. Britannia . _ In Old French – " Bretaigne ", in Anglo-Norman – " Britaine ".
This confusion has been around since ancient times. Britain and Bretonnia were sometimes simply indistinguishable. Only relatively recently, at the beginning of the 18th century, did they put an end to this. The one on the island – " Grande" Bretagne ", and the one that is a region of France is simply " Bretagne ".
Before the 18th century it was still far away, so in the Centuries things are like this:
"Britannique(s)" – at 2-1, 3-57, 4-96, 5-34, 5-99, 6-7, 6-41.
"Bretaigne" – at 3-70 and 6-53.
As is obvious, it is the “British” that changes exactly seven times, but the unwritten rule not to use the word quatrain in the calculation did not leave the task alone. There seemed to be something wrong with this. Salvation was the word " Bretaigne " from quatrain 3-70 – "Great Britain including England."
Now about the second line of quatrain 3-57. Britain and the year 290. How to link this?
Following the logic that such an insignificant number could be obtained by counting the word ranks of only a fairly early quatrain of the Centuries – there are no options other than quatrain 2-1.
2-1 VERS(4) Aquitaine(1) par(76) insults(1) Britaniques(1),
De(86) par(77) eux(3) mesmes(2) grandes(1) incursions(1):
Pluies (1), gelees(1) feront(7) terroirs(1) iniques(1),
Port(5) Selyn(2) fortes(1) fera(15) inuasions(1)
This quatrain, thanks to his words, scored 288 points – years. It is quite early for the Centuries, therefore, it is possible that the deviation from the expected result turned out to be so small: only two units.
Well, I – present and today – I remind you that I reproduce my past records, which reflect the entire process of the development of events, in this case without interfering at all. What was, was. Below is an outpouring of my feelings:
From the time I realized that I was listening to such a book, my attitude towards the Author, of course, has changed radically. From the mystic of dark distant times, foreshadowing a far from rosy future for mankind, a completely different, most interesting person appeared. He is alive, educated, having reached wisdom with his mind, with an excellent sense of humor, which has now become clear, and this feeling is inherent even in God, I know from myself!
