Outbreak of plague in a monastery in Perugia
Text originalOriginal text
A quisti dì , de ottobre, comenzó la morya qui in Peroscia, cioè comenzó prima in San Pietro , però che li monaci receptaro uno monaco amalato de peste , lo quale veniva de terre de suspetto de morya; ma esso campò. Et partisse lo Abbate con alcuni monaci ; et de quelli che remaseno ne moriero parochie. Per questa cagione lo' fu fatto comandamento per parte de Monsignore, che essi non usassero più per la cita de Peroscia , et che loro stessino con le porte serra.

In these days of October, the plague began here in Perugia, that is, it first began in San Pietro because the monks received a monk who was sick with the plague, coming from areas suspected of the plague; but he survived. The Abbot left with some monks, and of those who remained, many died. For this reason, a command was issued by His Lordship that they should no longer go through the city of Perugia and that they should stay with the doors closed.
