A plague hit the peasants who fled to Pisa. It was a punishment of God.

Text originalOriginal text

[…] e per giunta a' detti mali, li villani de' piani ch'erano rifuggiti in Pisa, e stavansi sotto loro carra lungo le mura, furono assaliti dalla pistilenzia (p. 611) dell'anguinaia, assai ne perirono. E cciò somigliava all'intendenti giudicio di Dio, che dentro e di fuori così gastgasse i corompitori della pace e della fede data per soperchio d'astuta malizia.

Text translationEnglish translation of the text

[...] and in addition to the evils mentioned, the peasants from the plains who had fled to Pisa and were staying under their carts along the walls were attacked by the inguinal plague (p. 610). Many of them died. This appeared to prudent observers as the judgement of God, who punished both within and without the corrupters of peace and given fidelity for their excessive, cunning wickedness.
