The production of ecclesiastical documentation in the kingdom of Galicia between 1345 and 1353: a reading about the plague
Abstract
This article reviews the context of the incidence of the Black Death in the kingdom of Galicia taking an indicator not explored until now: the quantification of the production of documents by the main ecclesiastical institutions of the territory, between 1345 and 1353. With it we will offer various graphs in organization of the data, as well as some possible lines of interpretation, verifying that effec-tively the arrival of the pestilence affects the documentary production, which is diminished in 1348, but also that at no time institutional life is retracted by complete but redirects the trend towards a sustained but softer decrease.
