There were several outbreaks in the centuries 14th-19th. Did the data used by the author cover all the major ones? My impression is that it is easier to recover data for the most recent outbreaks than for the older ones.
We didn't use all of the cities for which we had outbreaks, but selected nine that covered a large part of the time period, and a large geographic region. Here is the list:
Givry, France, 1348. Florence, Italy, 1400. Barcelona, Spain, 1490. London, England, 1563-1564. Eyam, England, 1666. Gdansk, Poland, 1709. Stockholm, Sweden, 1710-1711. Moscow, Russia, 1771. Malta, Malta, 1813.
