1460 A plague in Lower Saxony kills mainly middle-aged men   Kein Wunder, daß Gott, über solchen Götzendienst aufs heftigste erzürnt, das Land bald darauf durch schweres Unheil heimsuchte. Kaum waren seit diesem abergläubischen Akt zwei Jahre verflossen als eine schreckliche und jeglicher Erinnerung unbewußte Pest Sachsen überfiel. Sie räumte nicht so sehr Frauen und Kinder aus der Welt als vielmehr Männer im besten Alter, die von der verheerenden Seuche ergriffen und fast alle hinweggerafft wurden. [1] No wonder that God, furious at such idolatry, soon struck the land with a severe calamity. No more than two years had passed since this superstitious act when a terrible plague, unconscious of any memory, struck Saxony. It did not so much eliminate women and children as men in their prime, who were seized by the devastating plague and almost all of whom were swept away. (Translation: Thomas Wozniak)

1460 A strong mortality in Franconia, Hesse and Thuringia and along the river Leine.   Ein heftig sterben im land Dorringen, Hessen, Franken und by der Leinen. [2] A strong mortality in Thuringia, Hesse, Franconia and along the Leine river. (Translation: Martin Bauch)

1460 In the year 1460 there was a great mortality in Silesia.   Anno 1460 fuit magna mortalitas in Silesia. [3] In the year 1460 there was a great mortality in Silesia. (Translation: Christian Oertel)

1460, July 11 Plague outbreak in Corfu.   I also found a boat bound for Corfu; I boarded on July 11 [1460], as, in addition to the other evils, there was an outbreak [p. 82] of the plague at Methone; we set sail on August 2. […] [p. 84] As the plague infected the castle of Corfu, the despot and I moved to the villages, where we expected the results of the two embassies. [4] Already a translation from the Greek original. (Translation: Martin Bauch)
