06 · EDITION AND WITNESS COMPARISON
How the evidence for Nostradamus Annual Internet Predictions changes
The date of a document and the date of an interpretation are recorded separately.| Witness or edition | Date | Editorial status | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gallica · Nostradamus | 1555 onward | Baseline source | Authentic quatrains can be checked against early French editions; many yearly claims use loose translations or invented lines. |
| Scholarly or institutional interpretation | Later review | Context layer | Explains language, history and uncertainty without becoming the original text. |
| Viral quotation or modern event match | Recent circulation | Derivative layer | Most vulnerable to translation drift, omitted failures and hindsight; compare with Gallica · Nostradamus. |

08 · WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED
Comparison with events
The target year often comes from the headline rather than the verse and changes after failed predictions.09 · DISPUTES AND COUNTERARGUMENTS
Where interpretation changes
The main dispute concerns the distance between 1555 onward and Early French printing · later translation · annual content cycle. Translation, selective quotation, changed definitions and hindsight can make a broad record appear more exact than it was. Competing readings are therefore preserved rather than silently merged.10 · EVIDENCE SCORE & PROVISIONAL CONCLUSION
