Description

The Milan health office recorded every death and learned to read patterns in ink When plague hit Milan in 1576, the city's health office already had decades of experience tracking outbreaks. Its officials knew which neighborhoods to seal, which goods to burn, which travelers to turn away. They had learned through catastrophe. This book traces how urban institutions across Europe developed epidemiological intelligence long before germ theory gave them a scientific language for what they saw.
