8vo. [4], v, [1], vii, [1], ix, [1], xi, [3], 3-123, [1] pp. Brown cloth with gold lettering on the spine. Illustrated with ten figures (including charts and maps) and seven tables. Includes a bibliography and an index. Part of the series of The Curti Lectures (this one delivered in September of 1978). Comprised of three essays, Cipolla, a Professor of History at Berkeley, analyzes the public health initiatives North Italian states undertook to fight the plague. His second essay examines how the different states co-operated with one another during the Renaissance to prevent the spread of the plague, thus creating one of the first international health initiatives. Finally, Cipolla examines an outbreak in Pistoia during 1630-1631, and analyzes which segments of the population were most affected by the outbreak. Seller Inventory # 00008224
