As a medical, economic, spiritual, and demographic crisis, plague affected practically every aspect of an early modern community whether on a local, regional or national scale. Its study therefore affords opportunities for the reassessment of many aspects of the pre-modern world. This book examines the incidence and effects of plague in an early modern Scottish community by analysing bureaucratic, medical, and social responses to epidemics in the north-east port of Aberdeen, focusing on the period 1500 to 1650.
