On April 23 auction, Swann will auction off the 16th to 18th century books from the Nostradamus Library, which features an admirable selection of early editions of books and prints relating to the 16th century astrologer and seer. Ruzo, a Peruvian attorney and Nostradamus scholar possessed the only known copies of the earliest extant editions including the only copy of the earliest surviving prognostication by Nostradamus which is estimated to sell for $1,500-2,500. Offerings from the library also include books by contemporary imitators, interpreters, and critics of his predictions, and related work.
