Marzo 1348. La fine del mondo tra paure e prevenzione nelle cronache volgari coeve
March 1348. The end of the world between fear and prevention in the Italian contemporary Chronicles
Abstract
The paper aims to analyze the texts of some vernacular chronicles narrating the Plague of 1348. Starting from the anonymous Storie pistoresi, a panorama of the “narrative tradition” of the plague within historical texts is traced. Therefore, the paper focuses on the wide diffusion (also in historical texts) of remedies against the plague.
Il contributo analizza i testi di alcune cronache in volgare che narrano la peste del 1348. Partendo dalle anonime Storie pistoresi si traccia un panorama della “tradizione narrativa” della peste, anche all’interno di testi storici; ci si sofferma dunque sull’ampia diffusione (anche in testi storici) di rimedi contro la peste.
