Beginn of the Black Death in Bologna.

Text originalOriginal text

In lo dicto millesimo fu una gran mortalità in Bollogna. Comenzò del mexe de mazo e durò de fino a sa Michele ch'è de setenbre, e fo sì fera che astimado fo che di cinque era morti gli tri e più; e fo maore anchore che dire no se porave.

Text translationEnglish translation of the text

In the said year there was a great mortality in Bologna. It began in the month of May and lasted until the feast of Feast of Saint Michael in September. It was so fierce that it was estimated that out of every five people, three or more had died; and it was even greater than could be described.
