The `Bills of Mortality' of Florence

Abstract

Summary In a number of North Italian Cities a series of Bills of Mortality is available, beginning in the late Middle Ages and continued without significant interruptions until the nineteenth century. On the basis of fresh archival material, the author re-assesses the reliability of the Bills of Mortality of Florence and concludes that during the sixteenth centuries deaths of children were recorded only exceptionally.
