Les tremblements de terre en Europe au Moyen Age et à la Renaissance

This book is a new critical catalogue of earthquakes in Europe from 284 to 1550, as known from the original written sources. The first part of the book is a critical study of the written sources that provide us with information on earthquakes. 2,489 sources have been listed. In total, the number of original texts is 4,641, of which 1,273 (27%) come from lost sources. The second part is the actual catalogue of 1,507 earthquakes, classified in chronological order. In appendix to this catalogue, a table of 4,534 macroseismic datapoints (MDPs) is presented, i.e. all the localities where each of the 1,507 seismic events have been felt. The third and last part of the book is a catalogue of 1,585 false earthquakes.
