Arcandam was a celebrated astrological pseudonym of the sixteenth century, under which books of predictions were published in Latin and French from about 1540.〔The ''Arcandam doctor peritissimus ac non vulgaris astrologus'' dates from 1541.()〕〔English translations were available from 1562, and continued in editions into the 1640s.〕 The name was still in use in the 1630s. It is assumed that Richard Roussat, a canon and physician of Lyon whose name appears on the early works as editor, was the author of the early works. The best known of the Arcandam books is the ''Livre de l'estat et mutation des temps'' of 1550. This formed one of the sources for the prophecies of Nostradamus.〔Available online:(), in translation into modern French.〕 There are some secondary pseudonyms/attributions appearing alongside Arcandam: *Aleandrin, *Aleandrinus, *Aleandram, *Alcandrin, *Alcandrinus (perhaps suggesting Alkindus), *Al-Kindi. ==Notes== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arcandam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
