PROFETIE Dell' Abbate Gioachino
is a book on Papal prophecies also contained in recently re-discovered manuscript THE LOST BOOK OF NOSTRADAMUS
( NOSTRADAMUS VATINICIA CODE)

This book was also known as VATICANIA DE SUMMIS PONTIFICIBUS
“In spite of its importance in the history of medieval spiritual life, manuscripts of the Vaticinia are not common on the market. A mid fifteenth-century copy was sold in these rooms, 5 December 1989, lot 100. Another, once belonging to Sir Sydney Cockerell, appeared in H.P. Kraus, Monumenta, 1974, no.37 and In Retrospect, 1978, no.60. An early seventeenth-century manuscript was in the Phillipps sale in our rooms, 28 November 1967, lot 124, and is now in the Bodleian.” Sotheby
“The manuscript contains one of the strangest and most intriguing of medieval texts: the mystical prophecies concerning the papacy ascribed to the famous Calabrian abbot and visionary, Joachim of Fiore (c.1135-1202). The prophecies, which perhaps originated in Byzantium.”

Extremely RARE

Rebound in period vellum binding

COMPLETE with all 34 full page woodcut illustrations
Printed by Pietro, Paolo, Tozzi, Dedica & Duna
1625

Accompanying the woodcuts are prophetic messages in Latin and Italian, followed by enigmatic and prophetic Latin expositions."

"...In 1994, Italian journalist Enza Massa found herself at the Italian National Library in Rome conducting research on old manuscripts, when she stumbled upon an unusual find ; a mysterious manuscript. The name of the manuscript was intriguing: NOSTRADAMUS VATINICIA CODE. On the inside of the book was the name of the author, in indelible ink—Michel de Notredame—(the prophet Nostradamus.)
This magnificent manuscript included over eighty watercolor illustrations that were hand painted by the Nostradamus himself.. Contained in the pages of the book are cryptic, prophetic images that some believe to be prediction of world's future. 

"Letters, symbolic objects, banners, candles, crosses, and even a burning tower are all included in the manuscript. Are these images visual manifestations of his quatrains, which extend to the 21st century, as some say? How did this book come to be in the library? 

 Why was this book hidden for over 400 years? And are these images so frightening that Nostradamus deliberately hid them, as some say, until their time was near?"

The book was first published in 1801 by its author, Francis Barrett, who had spent many years diligently and extensively studying medieval magic and occult sciences. Most of the few hundred surviving copies can only be found in certain libraries and private collections locked away from the general rare book market.

• The essence of the content is aimed toward the true student of occult seeking the key to the philosopher's stone and the powers of magic. Within its structure the work  includes the important information of magical tool construction and consecration. The stunning illustrations were taken from ancient and medieval texts, magical tables, planetary tables, talismans and images of angels and demons.  
• Book One covers natural magic, amulets and charms, potions, precious stones, lights, candles, alchemy, the philosopher's stone, transmutation, the four elements, numbers, and planets. 
• Book Two covers magnetic powers, Cabalistic magic, the names of angels and spirits, the performing of invocations, conjuring spirits, magic circles, receiving oracles in dreams, positive and evil spirits, and concludes with a major biographical section on the great occultists throughout the history.
