The [[mortality]] in those years was worse and greater than the deaths and disaster that [[god]] broughtt with the Flood, described in the [[Holy Scripture]]. For the author a [[conjunction]] in the year 1346 was not the reason for the [[plague]], but instead the will of [[god]].The passage describes the horrific [[symptoms]] and the route of spread through the world, via [[Africa]], [[Italy]], [[Germany]], [[England]] and northern and eastern countries. Many people fled to areas, where they hoped to be spared. In addition, [[Matteo Villani]] observed that the people were more cruel to each other and didn't help their infected family members. This behavior first came from the barbaric nations, but was also widespread among Christians. With the time the people recognized that people who helped others were more likely spared by the plague. He thinks that the transmissions occur through sight and touch. The [[doctors]] were clueless about the reasons and nobody found a [[remedy]]. In [[Florence]], the plague lasted from [[April]] [[1348]] to [[September]] [[1348]] and 3 out of 5 people regardless of sex and age died. Only the class had a influence, poor people were more affected. The mortality was everywhere similar in number and kind, like the reports suggested.  +
[[Florence]] was threatened by a [[famine]]. The city gathered large supplies of [[grain]] from elsewhere, however the problems weren't solved, because many people from the countryside came in the city. In addition to the famine diseases broke out amnong the immigrants and then it distributed also among the urban masses.  +
