About this book
The account records a deadly pestilence beginning in Saxony in the wake of marching troops and spreading over Germany, with an enormous loss of life during the Thirty Years’ War. The description of Schwandorf reports a pestilence with swellings and large unknown spots after the departure of encamped troops, carrying away almost a third of the inhabitants.
The discussion of Stettin notes high small-pox figures only in communities surrounding the city within its governmental district. A table records deaths in the communities mentioned in relation to their populations. The account of typhus fever acknowledges uncertainty about where the disease first appeared.
