There were indeed hundreds of outbreaks during those centuries. The outbreaks we selected were the ones for which we could find daily or weekly mortality records, as that gives you an epidemic curve that you can fit mathematical model to. We didn't use all of the cities for which we had outbreaks, but selected nine that covered a large part of the time period, and a large geographic region. Here is the list: Givry, France, 1348.
Florence, Italy, 1400.
Barcelona, Spain, 1490.
London, England, 1563-1564.
Eyam, England, 1666.
Gdansk, Poland, 1709.
Stockholm, Sweden, 1710-1711.
Moscow, Russia, 1771.
Malta, Malta, 1813. |
