Plague
and Public Health in Renaissance Europe
http://jefferson.village.virginia.edu/osheim/intro.html
The introductory section of this site briefly
outlines the bubonic plague in Renaissance Europe. The introductory
section also outlines the original aims of the project, which were
to create a 'hypertext archive of narratives, medical consilia,
governmental records, religious and spiritual writings and Images
documenting the arrival, impact and response to the problem of epidemic
disease in Western Europe between 1348 and 1530'. The site currently
provides access to some primary source material on Florence, Pistoia
and Lucca in 1348. It will be interesting to see whether the site
will fulfil its original aims as it has been a while since the content
was last added to.
