A nun wants to move to another monastery in the diocese of Messina in 1479 as plague has emptied her orignal monastery.

Text originalOriginal text

ob raritate monialium in eodem monasterio causante peste que inibi diutius viguit mortuarum.

Text translationEnglish translation of the text

Because of the scarcity of nuns in the same monastery, caused by the plague that persists there for a long time, resulting in many deaths.
