  • Salutary Precautions: Public Health During the Plague Years

  • Given that medieval people lacked a germ theory to explain the spread of plague and had no effective treatments for it, we may be tempted to see them as helpless victims reduced to waiting for God to claim or spare their lives. In fact, the medieval plague years witnessed the development of many public health measures still in use today. We’ll explore the extensive strategies created to prevent or at least mitigate the damage brought by plague epidemics.
