Abstract
La epidemia de peste de 1649 (denominada, asimismo, la «Gran Peste») supuso la mayor crisis epidémica padecida por el reino de Sevilla en la Edad Moderna. Un episodio que fue muy relatado por cronistas de la época, de ahí que conozcamos con lujo de detalles lo ocurrido en la capital hispalense en los meses en que se desarrolló la epidemia. Y, sin embargo, poco ha trascendido el impacto que tuvo la «Gran Peste» en los distintos pueblos del extenso alfoz sevillano. En este artículo nos disponemos a analizar el caso de Dos Hermanas, municipio situado a las puertas de la capital hispalense, utilizando para ello, principalmente, los protocolos históricos notariales de esta localidad, conservados en el Archivo Histórico Provincial de Sevilla.
The plague epidemic of 1649 (also called the “Great Plague”) was the greatest epidemic crisis suffered by the kingdom of Seville in the Modern Age. An episode that was widely recounted by chroniclers of the time, which is why we know in detail what happened in the Seville capital in the months in which the epidemic developed. And yet, little has been revealed about the impact that the “Great Plague” had on the different towns of the extensive Sevillian alfoz (territory). In this article we are going to analyze the case of Dos Hermanas, a municipality located at the gates of the Seville capital, mainly using the notarial historical protocols of this town, preserved in the Provincial Historical Archive of Seville.
