Original burials data for the book Epidemic Disease and Society in the Premodern Low Countries: Inequality and Community (Routledge, 2026)

This is the excel file to the original data that supports the content and analysis of my new book Epidemic Disease and Society in the Premodern Low Countries: Inequality and Community (Abingdon: Routledge, 2026). The file contains medieval sources for calculating mortality indexes and the raw data; a list of all the localities with 16th or 17th-century burials information and the raw burials data; the same localities with early modern population estimates; a list of pest houses and their dates of foundation; burials, marriages, and baptisms data for early modern Delft; and 2 reconstructions of plague costs for 2 households in the village of Dinther. This represents all the quantitative data collected for the book. (2025-12-18)
