Montpellier

Nostradamus,Doctor¹

In 1529, October 23, Michel of Notredame admits himself at the famous Faculty of medicine of Montpellier.
Registers of the time were preserved there and one can read again today, with a respectful curiosity, the enrollment and the signature of the student of Saint-Remy, right after the one of a Ludovicus Durandus:

Ego² Michaletus de nostra domina, nations provintie vile sancli Remigii³, Avinion. dyocesis, veni in han⁴ universitatem montis pessulany studere dy⁵ gratia in actu et promito me observât.⁶ jura et statuta et priviligia édita et edenda ; sorluy⁷ jura ejusdem et eligo unm⁸ patrum ut pote⁹ dominum Antonium Romerium, dye XXIII mensis octobris, 1529, millesimo quingentesimo visesimo nono die, ut supra 1529.

Translation:

« Michelet¹⁰ of Notredame, of the nation of Provence, of the city of Saint-Remy, of the diocese of Avignon, came to study at the university of Montpellier, of which he swears to uphold the statutes, rights and privileges, present and to come. He paid his rights of enrollment and he chooses Antoine Romier as patron, October 23, 1529. »

Additional Note:

Probably in order to intensify a little the academic glory of Nostradamus, GUYNAUD, and ASTRUC,¹¹ and others, assured that he would have been received professor, by acclamation of his peers.

No one up to now was able to historically provide the proof of this.
