The DeCameron
Giovanni Boccaccio was living in Florence during the time of the Black Death. He wrote a book called The DeCameron based on what he saw, and that was just one of the little bits in there. According to other contemporary accounts, quite accurate. This is the disease that got me into epidemiology, into disease ecology, into history. I'm thrilled.
