Nostradamus wasn't only a diviner, he was a physician. We know he wrote (at least two) books on medical science (one contained commentars to Galen, and in an other he wrote his experiences about the big epidemics of pest). He was involved in the profession of cosmetics, too (Treatise on Cosmetics and Conserves). He wrote some other works (Traité des fardemens).
