A year of good harvests is also characterized by epidemic mortality.

Text originalOriginal text

Anno 1507 Regiert ein pestilentzisch sterben an vielen orten, vdn war gleich wol ein solches wolfeiles iahr, das der acker mehr kostet zu ehren vnd bawen, den man gelds aus verkauffung der fruchte losen kunt.

Wellendorf Chronik 2015, p. 150. 1

Text translationEnglish translation of the text

In the year 1507, a pestilential death reigned in many places, and yet it was such a year of bountiful harvests that the cost of cultivating and planting the fields exceeded the money that could be gained from selling the crops.
