He carefully packed all his ideas into a small book, making sure that even with the passage of centuries, interest in it would not disappear, so that it would not fall into oblivion. Now it becomes clear why all this “blood”, all “deaths”, “plague”, “floods”, “murders”, “monsters”, “battles”, “destruction”, etc. … What is there in the Centuries … All this can be united, perhaps, only by the phrase “Divine verb”, that is, the “word”, to each of which Nostradamus gave a soul, felt, at least, in the form of his rank to his book.

From tasks with large data arrays, I will move on to simpler ones. I will describe his vision quatrain 3-61:
3-61 La grande bande & secte crucigere,
Se dressera en Mesopotamie: Du proche fleuue compaignie legiere, Que telle loy tiendra pour ennemie.
Large group and sect of crusaders,
Will rise in Mesopotamia:
The nearest river has a light company,
Which such law will hold for the enemy.
Mesopotamia is an interfluve. The river – " fleuue ", is quite often mentioned in the Centuries. My idea was to find the words of the quatrain, such as: " bande ", " secte ", " compaignie ", " crucigere " – together, in some interval between the rivers. Such a gap was found between the "rivers" from quatrains 6-52 and 6-98. “ Bande ”, as part of the word “ contre bande ” – in quatrain 6-75, “ secte ” – in 6-66, the word “ crucigere ” is not mentioned anywhere else in the Centuries, therefore, starting from the meaning, the desired word, I think, should become "cross" – " croix ". There were even two of them in this section of Centuria, at 6-71 and 6-80.
The third line of the quatrain has its own solution. I think it refers to the "river" closest to 3-61. It is located in quatrain 3-72. Nearby – in quatrain 3-83 – we find " Ac compaigne s ", and even closer – in quatrain 3-68 – " legiere ".
… Well, why, why, after the discovery of the "third climate" then I was not immediately dragged into the search for compatible capital letters? If this had happened then, then occult Mesopotamia would have been revealed:
2-60 La foy P unicque en O rient rompue,
gang . Iud . & Rosne , Loyre , & Tag changeront:
Quand du mulet la faim sera repue, Classe espargie, sang & corps nageront .
