Text originalOriginal text
Qua quidem epidimia Venecijs incoacta 1347; die 25 januarii, hora vespertina, die conversionis sancti Pauli fuit Venetijs maximus et terribilis terremotus, et ex tunc ipsa pestis amplius invaluit, perseverans usque 1348, per totum mensem augusti; ob quam tercia pars Venetorum, vel circa, (dicitur decessisse).
Text translationEnglish translation of the text
This epidemic, which had begun in Venice in 1347, was accompanied on 25 January, in the evening hour, on the feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul, by a great and terrible earthquake in Venice. From that time the plague grew stronger and continued until the year 1348, throughout the whole month of August. Because of it, about a third of the Venetians, or thereabouts, are said to have died.
