The Pestis secunda in Portugal (1362)
| Summary: | The aim of the paper is to systematize documental and chronological data about Pestis secunda, first plague outbreak that hit Europe after the famous Black Death, looking for an approximate chronology of the event in Portugal. A little more than a decade after its predecessor, this epidemic proved that the disease would become recurrent, and some exceptional sources allow us to dispute that the silence of the majority of the surviving documents means a minor impact in the lives of those who survived it. |
