 Wrote a book called The Decameron— setting was the time of the Black Death  From the introduction….  “…rather it was come to this, that a dead man then was of no more account than a dead goat would be today.”  “…such terror was struck into the hearts of men and women by this calamity, that brother abandoned brother, and the uncle his nephew, and the sister her brother, and very often the wife her husband.”  “…everyone felt doomed and had abandoned his property, so that most houses became common property…”  “Although the cemeteries were full they were forced to dig huge trenches, where they buried the bodies by the hundreds.”
