The beginning of the XVIIIth century has been recorded in history of the city of Cracow as a time of war and famine. “Pitiful times” – such term was used in the chronicle of the Norbertine Sisters Convent. This cataclysms was followed by the last one and the most dangerous of them – an epidemic. The plague was a deathblow to the city on the verge of falling into ruin.One of the most important goals of the article is pointing the connections between physical, economical or spiritual state of the municipal community and enormous proportions as well as consequences of the plague. Considerations are started from describing the situation in Cracow and nearest vicinity the day before cataclysm. Subsequently Authoress characterized preventive measures, basing on municipal bills and regulations. The main part of the article presents the drama of the ordinary cracovians. To throw light on the depth of demographical, cultural and spiritual crisis in the city, the view of situation is completed by statistics based on ecclesiastical sources – records and acts of the chapters of The Dominican Order. Authoress refers also to the texts publicized in Cracow at the begging of the XVIIIth century – from medical treatises to panegyric written by Marcin Ksawery Szumliński to venerate the authorities of the city fighting against the plague.

Royal Prussia was the most developed region of the Republic of Poland in the 18th century. Elbląg, along with Gdańsk and Toruń, was the largest city in Royal Prussia. The beginning of the 18th century was full of negative events for this city and the whole state. Already in 1700 the Northern War broke out, which lasted until 1721. At the same time, a plague epidemic broke out in Europe. In some areas it even reached several dozen percent. The aim of this article is to present the environment of the Catholics of Elbląg and to analyse the mortality rate in this group on the basis of the death book of the Old Town parish of St. Nicholas.

Prusy Królewskie w XVIII wieku stanowiły najbardziej rozwinięty region Rzeczypospolitej. Elbląg obok Gdańska i Torunia był największym miastem Prus Królewskich. Początek XVIII wieku obfitował w negatywne dla tego ośrodka miejskiego i całego państwa wydarzenia. W 1700 r. wybuchła wojna północna, która trwała aż do 1721 r. Równolegle przez Europę przetoczyła się również epidemia dżumy. W niektórych rejonach sięgnęła nawet kilkudziesięciu procent. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie środowiska elbląskich katolików oraz przeanalizowanie poziomu śmiertelności w tej grupie w oparciu o księgę zgonów parafii staromiejskiej św. Mikołaja.
