Very occasionally the work of a fine historian transcends its own detail to illuminate our entire perspective on the past. In this concisestudy Carlo Cipolla, one of the leading European scholars of today, uses the evidence of a small Tuscan town's experience of the plague to reveal new features of church-state relations in seventeenth-century Italy. The plague, an endemic nightmare in Renaissance Europe, struck Montelupo in 1630. It was fought by both civilian and religious authorities, the nature of their resistance exposing their divisions. Public health magistrates in Florence forcibly isolated the twon to reduce contagion. Clerical leaders organised a mass procession duringt which the town gates were broken down. The resulting enquiry provides Cipolla with his exceptionally rich source material. In vivid colloquial prose he recaptures the emotions, attitudes and behaviour of ordinary people in a remote coner of history. -- Jacket flap.

Encyclopedia of Pestilence, Pandemics, and Plagues [2 volumes] available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Editor Joseph P. Byrne, together with an advisory board of specialists and over 100 scholars, research scientists, and medical practitioners from 13 countries, has produced a uniquely interdisciplinary treatment of the ways in which diseases pestilence, and plagues have affected human life. From the Athenian flu pandemic to the Black Death to AIDS, this extensive two-volume set offers a sociocultural, historical, and medical look at infectious diseases and their place in human history from Neolithic times to the present. Nearly 300 entries cover individual diseases (such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, Ebola, and SARS); major epidemics (such as the Black Death, 16th-century syphilis, cholera in the nineteenth century, and the Spanish Flu of 1918-19); environmental factors (such as ecology, travel, poverty, wealth, slavery, and war); and historical and cultural effects of disease (such as the relationship of Romanticism to Tuberculosis, the closing of London theaters during plague epidemics, and the effect of venereal disease on social reform). Primary source sidebars, over 70 illustrations, a glossary, and an extensive print and nonprint bibliography round out the work.
