Glossy black and white illustrated paper covers have light bumping to edges and light overall scuffing. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. Some black and white illustrations. [From back cover] This book uses Florentine death registers to trace the changing character of plague from the first outbreak of the Black Death in 1348 to the mid-fifteenth century. Through an innovative study of this evidence, Professor Carmichael develops two related strands of analysis. First, she examines the extent to which true plague epidemics occurred by exploring the role of other infectious diseases that may have significantly contributed to outbreaks of epidemiological "pestilence," identifying key differences between the epidemics of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. She then demonstrates how these differences influenced the perceptions of Italian city dwellers in the fifteenth century. While survivors of the fourteenth-century outbreaks, which claimed many prominent citizens, could not reasonably view plague as a disease of the poor, wealthy Florentines of the 1430s increasingly believed that fleeing the city could protect them. This shift in understanding paved the way for public health responses such as quarantine, pest houses, and health boards - measures that, ironically, increased the mortality of the poor and reinforced the belief that they constituted a dangerous element of Renaissance society.

Paperback. Condition: New. Originally published in 1986, this book uses Florentine death registers to show the changing character of plague from the first outbreak of the Black Death in 1348 to the mid-fifteenth century. Through an innovative study of this evidence, Professor Carmichael develops two related strands of analysis. First, she discusses the extent to which true plague epidemics may have occurred, by considering what other infectious diseases contributed significantly to outbreaks of 'pestilence'. She finds that there were many differences between the fourteenth- and fifteenth-century epidemics. She then shows how the differences in the plague reshaped the attitudes of Italian city-dwellers toward plague in the fifteenth century. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of the plague, Renaissance Italy and the history of medicine. Seller Inventory # LU-9781107634367
