[16] This French edition of Krafft’s interpretations of the quatrains of Nostradamus in the light of current European events is said to have been translated by Krafft himself from his original German edition of 1940, but with significant differences in content in a few places, marking it out as unique among the several editions of Krafft’s work. The Spanish edition (q. v. below) is believed to be a verbatim translation by another translator from Krafft’s original German.
