This is a survey of the literature concerning the plague outbreak that occurred in the Western Mediterranean in the mid-seventeenth century. The author first reviews the chronology and itinerary of the epidemic, which began in Valencia in June 1647. He then examines loss of life in the affected areas. Finally he discusses various topics related to the epidemic, including the reliability of data in parochial registries, the impact of the epidemic on nuptiality and family structure, apparent female excess mortality, medical and sanitary efforts dealing with the epidemic, and its demographic and socioeconomic consequences.
