Faith Reason and the Plague, in seventeenth century Tuscany by Carlo M. ...
The plague came from rats in Geneva in 1347. ... In just thirteen years the plague killed one-third of the population in Europe. Cipolla took the records of a small town in Europe during the times of the plague and took vivid records accounting all the despair that the people of Monte Lupo were forced to endure. He displayed how the people reacted as the plague spread like a wildfire through their towns as it wiped out entire families. During the time of the plague people were scared because it was taking whole communities by storm. ... Many doctors were ridiculed, and some lost their lives that reported the plague in their towns. ... When neighboring towns learned that Monte Lupo was afflicted by the plague in September of 1630, a stockade was put over the entrance of the town. ... He was given this task for being the first to report the plague in Monte Lupo, which didn’t make him popular, and the first to help the people. ... The Plague affected Europe in ways that it had never been c before. Cipolla found some of the only great accounts of this horrid plague. ... With ignorance and misunderstanding of science, it made it nearly impossible to fully cure the plague in Europe.
