"They sickened by the thousands daily, and died unattended and without help.  Many died in the open street, others dying in their houses.  Consecrated churchyards did not suffice for the burial of the vast multitude of bodies, which were heaped by the hundreds in vast trenches, like goods in a ships hold and covered with little earth". - Giovanni Boccaccio
