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. [1] Already a translation from the Greek original.

1467 Severe plague in Constantinopel, Adrianopel and Kallipolis and surroundings with tens of thousands of deaths   In the summer of the same year, the plague overwhelmed Constantinople, Adrianople, Kallipolis, and the immediate castles, towns, and villages. No outbreak of such intensity had occurred for many years. They say that tens of thousands, not merely thousands, of human beings perished; among the casualties was the daughter of the despot [Lord Demetrios]. [2] (Translation needed)
1470 – 1472 Plague with many deaths in Cyprus   In addition, a great plague struck in 1470 and lasted for two and a half years. Besides, three parts of the island died, and the island remained devastated. [3] (Translation needed)
