Black death in Nizhny Novgorod.

Text originalOriginal text

[6872] Бысть моръ великъ въ Новѣгородѣ въ Нижемъ: хракаху людiе кровiю, а инiи желѣзою бoляху, и не долго боляху, но два дни или три, а инiи единъ день болѣвше умираху, и толико множество бѣ мертвыхъ, [яко не успѣваху живые мертвыхъ] погребати.

Text translationEnglish translation of the text

(1364) There was a great epidemic in Nizhny Novgorod: people were coughing up blood, and others were ill because of a bubos infection, and they didn't stay ill for long, two or three days, and others suffered and died for one day, and there was such a huge number of dead that the living couldn't handle burying the dead.
