High mortality in Metz

Text originalOriginal text

Je fais pas point de mention de gens sans nombre, car la mortalité estoit en Mets et ailleurs si grande que c’estoit grant pitiet et longtemps devant n’en avoit heu de pareille.

Text translationEnglish translation of the text

I make no mention of large numbers of people, because the death rate was so high in Metz and elsewhere that it was a great pity and long before that there had been none like it.
